During the night of January 21, officers from the Sûreté du Québec’s Laval highway patrol carried out two traffic stops related to extreme speeding within Laval, as well as a third in Rosemère.
Shortly after midnight, a 41-year-old man was intercepted on northbound Highway 15 at kilometre 12 in Laval while travelling at a speed of 171 km/h.
Street race
The forty-something driver was involved in a street race with an 18-year-old driver, who was also intercepted at the same time.
Both motorists received tickets totalling $1,593 and 12 demerit points for participating in the race.
In addition, in connection with the extreme speeding that led to the race, the 41-year-old driver received an additional ticket of $1,468 along with 14 demerit points, while the 18-year-old driver, clocked at 180 km/h, was issued a $1,618 ticket and 14 demerit points.
Both individuals had their driver’s licences suspended for seven days, and their vehicles were impounded.

Later, around 2 a.m., a 23-year-old man was intercepted while travelling at 188 km/h in a zone where the speed limit is 70 km/h on the service road of Highway 640, in the Rosemère area.
During the attempted traffic stop, the individual tried to flee police by turning off his vehicle’s lights.
When officers managed to intercept him, he was issued a $2,147 ticket along with 24 demerit points.
Back to Laval
Finally, around 3 a.m., a 31-year-old man was intercepted on the service road of northbound Highway 15 in Laval after travelling at a speed of 165 km/h in a zone where the speed limit is 70 km/h.
As a repeat offender for extreme speeding, his driver’s licence was suspended for 30 days, his vehicle was impounded, and he was also issued a ticket.
Following these incidents, the Sûreté du Québec reminds the public that speeding remains one of the leading causes of fatal collisions on Quebec roads. (B.L.)
