**********************
Police clocked a motorist driving more than double the speed limit on Onion Lake Road Wednesday and have charged the driver with stunt driving.
A Thunder Bay Police Service officer with the Traffic Unit spotted the speeding driver just after 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13.
The driver was travelling at 107 km/h on a roadway with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h.
A 22-year-old Thunder Bay man faces a charge of stunt driving in addition to a ticket for speeding.
The vehicle he was driving, which he was not the owner of, has been impounded for seven days.
Spring-time weather brings more favourable driving conditions, but the Thunder Bay Police Service would like to remind motorists to keep their speed in check even on bare-and-dry roadways. Posted maximum speed limits should be respected even when driving conditions are ideal.
