A 54-year-old Halifax woman has been handed a hefty fine after being charged with stunting early Friday afternoon.

Halifax Regional Police say an officer captured the vehicle’s speed at 165 km/h in a 100 km/h zone in the outbound lanes of Highway 102 near Kearney Lake Road at around 1 p.m.

A stunting charge is automatic for any vehicle going at least 50 km/h over the speed limit. The fine is $2,422.50 and six points are assigned to the driver’s record.

In addition, she has been suspended from driving for a week and the vehicle was seized and towed.
