Ontario Provincial Police say an Ottawa driver whose previous stunt driving charge from May is still before the courts is now facing a new stunt driving charge.

His charge was one of four OPP laid Sunday night on Highway 417 in Ottawa's west end. Images shown by police show drivers clocked at 160 km/h, 175 km/h, 173 km/h and 156 km/h.

The driver facing the repeat charge needed help from his mom to get home, OPP said.

"This is his second charge for stunt driving since then! The previous charge is still before the courts. At least he didn't flee police this time, and was lucky enough to have his mom come pick him up at the scene," police said on social media.

I hope she does. She raised an asshole and she should suffer the consequences of that more than anyone else.

Sometimes it's nature and not nurture. And we don't know for certain that she had the primary responsibility for raising him, either. Families can be complicated.

That's fair. But I do have to wonder why she went and picked him up on the 401 instead of making him pay for an Uber/taxi to get home. Unless ofc he's under 18 at which point he shouldn't be racing a fancy car down a King's highway.

Strike 2 likely means he loses his license for a while. Maybe mom needs to stop rescuing him from himself now.
