Unexpected Consequences for Stunt Driving

Waterloo Regional Police are sending a strong reminder to drivers about the importance of safe driving—especially in parking lots. This warning comes after a reckless display of driving behavior was caught on camera.

On Sunday night, a 22-year-old man from Nepean was seen performing dangerous 'donuts' in a parking lot, prompting immediate action from the Traffic Services Unit.

Charges Filed and License Suspended

The reckless maneuver led to serious consequences. The driver now faces charges of stunt driving and careless driving, in addition to a hefty 30-day license suspension and a 14-day impoundment of his vehicle.

Police emphasized the seriousness of these infractions: 'Stunt Driving and Careless Driving laws apply to both highways and parking lots.' This incident highlights that poor judgment can lead to severe penalties, no matter where it occurs.

Community Safety First!

In their social media post, authorities appealed to the community: 'Let’s work together to keep our roads and communities safe.' With summer approaching, it's critical for all drivers to remain vigilant and responsible behind the wheel.

So, the next time you're tempted to show off your skills in a parking lot, remember—the fun could come at a cost!
