OTTAWA - Twins from Akwesasne doubled their travelling trouble earning two speeding tickets in the same car.
"It's unusual," provincial police Const. Joel Doiron said Tuesday. "We take our highway safety very seriously. As much as this may have some comedy to it, it's pretty unacceptable."
Early Sunday morning, Const. Chris Legere pulled over an eastbound car on Highway 401 for traveling at 155 kilometres an hour.
An 18-year-old woman from Akwesasne was charged with speeding and given a notice to appear in Alexandria court on Feb. 7.
Hours later, the same car was stopped by Legere for travelling at 148 km/h, but this time it was going westbound.
Although the driver looked the same as the first person stopped, an identification check showed that it was now the twin sister of the first driver.
"They don't only share the same birthday but they share the same offences," said Doiron. "They'll be splitting speeding fines, too."
