On October 22, 2014, police observed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed westbound on Highway 403 in Norwich Township. The vehicle was travelling at a speed of 158km/h in a posted 100km/h zone.

Drivers who engage in high risk driving behavior put everyone at risk. Speeding makes it more difficult for drivers and pedestrians to react to changes, stop suddenly and control a vehicle. In the case of a collision, the higher the speed the more severe the collision and the more likely that serious injuries or death will occur.
OPP would like to remind the motoring public to manage their time and respect all the rules of the road when travelling.
