The defendant was charged with stunt driving under Section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act for driving 50 kilometres per hour or more over the speed limit on EC Row Expressway in Windsor.
The Crown's case relied on radar evidence showing a speed reading of 150 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
The court found the defendant not guilty because the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was travelling at 150 km/h.
While the court was satisfied the defendant was travelling at 140 km/h (40 km/h over the limit), the stunt driving charge requires proof of at least 50 km/h over the limit.
