(SOUTH HURON, ON) – A driver from London will be making a trip to court later this summer following a traffic stop that took place on the Civic Day Holiday. At approximately 8:40 a.m. on August 1st a Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer spotted a Ford sedan travelling northbound on London Road near Kirkton Road at a high rate of speed. A check on the vehicle’s speed revealed the vehicle was travelling 33 km/h over the posted 80 km/h zone speed limit.
The vehicle was subsequently stopped and the driver was spoken to about his speed. Upon conducting a driver’s licence check on the driver the investigating officer learned the driver held a suspended driver’s licence.
As a result, 38-year-old Christopher PASSMORE from London has been charged with Speeding and Drive While Under Suspension. His court date is scheduled for August 23, 2016 at Provincial Offences Court in Goderich.
