Another driver has been charged with stunting.

Halifax Regional Police say an officer pulled him over on Highway 102 near the airport at around 7:20 a.m. Thursday.

They say the vehicle was going 153 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

A stunting charge is automatic for any vehicle going more than 50 km/h over the limit.

A 55-year-old man was handed a ticket for $2,422.50, six points were assigned to his record, he's been suspended from driving for a week and the vehicle was impounded.

HRP say he was also fined for failing to provide proof of insurance and failing to display driver's licence on the demand of a peace officer.

Anyone who sees a dangerous driver is asked to call 911.
