The Mounties have laid charges against three people for driving significantly faster than the posted speed limit.

On Friday, the RCMP says officers stopped a Honda Civic that was tracked going 109 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on St. Margarets Bay Rd. in Timberlea. The 19-year-old Hubley man was charged with stunting and had his vehicle towed.
