Two people have been charged with stunting Wednesday.

The first was pulled over at around 9:30 a.m.

Halifax Regional Police say an officer spotted a speeder going 108 km/h in a 50 km/h zone of Highway 102 near the exit for Joseph Howe Drive.

A 24-year-old woman was handed a ticket.

Then a 36-year-old woman was stopped on Highway 111 near Exit 6 in Dartmouth at around 11:10 a.m.

Police say that vehicle was going 133 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

A stunting charge is automatic for anyone driving more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.

It comes with a fine of $2,422.50 and six points are assigned to the driver’s record.

In addition, both women have been suspended from driving for a week and the vehicles have been impounded.

Anyone who spots a dangerous driver is asked to call 911.
