Police say a 20-year-old from Petrolia was charged after an officer with the Elgin County OPP stopped a passenger vehicle on the westbound Highway 401 in the municipality of Dutton-Dunwich, around 11:20 a.m., Friday.
The stop came as a result of multiple traffic complaints and the officer’s observations of aggressive driving. As a result, the individual was charged with careless driving, speeding and pass on right - not in safety.
