Two more drivers have been charged with stunting on local highways.

Halifax Regional Police say the first — a 31-year-old Halifax man — was pulled over Tuesday at around 7 a.m. after an officer captured the vehicle's speed at 137 km/h in a 70 km/h zone of Highway 102 near the Dunbrack exit.

Then at around 10 a.m. Wednesday, police say a 19-year-old Dartmouth man was driving 156 km/h in an 80 km/h zone of Highway 111 near Main Street.

The fine in Nova Scotia for stunting is $2,422.50 and six points are assigned to the driver's record.

In addition, both men were suspended from driving for a week and the vehicles they were driving were seized and towed.

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