On July 8, 2026, at approximately 9:30 pm, an officer conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 401 eastbound in the Municipality of Brighton stopped a vehicle after it was observed travelling at 156 km/h.

As a result of the investigation, a 22-year-old male driver from Mississauga was charged under the Highway Traffic Act with:

  • Drive motor vehicle - perform stunt - excessive speed

The driver was issued a 30 day driver’s license suspension, and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.

Under Ontario’s stunt driving legislation, a driver can be charged when operating a vehicle:

  • 40 km/h or more over the speed limit where the posted speed limit is less than 80 km/h
  • 50 km/h or more over the speed limit where the posted speed limit is 80 km/h or higher; or
  • At a speed of 150 km/h or greater, regardless of the posted speed limit
