Earlier this week, Constable Sorbara stopped a driver on Centennial Parkway who was travelling 147km/hour instead of the posted 70km/hour speed limit. The 17-year-old driver has now had their driver's licence suspended, their vehicle impounded, and some hefty fines to deal with.

Slow down, save lives!
