Teen driver calls 911 to contest speeding ticket, gets educational talk: OPP

LEEDS, Ont. — Police say a teen ticketed for speeding in eastern Ontario apparently couldn’t wait to go to court to contest the charge — he called 911.

Ontario Provincial Police say the 19-year-old was stopped early Sunday afternoon on Highway 401 in Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township.

After the traffic stop, police say the driver promptly called 911 to dispute contents of the ticket.

They say an officer went to see him, addressed his concerns and “educated him on the proper use of the 911 system.”
