Statistics released by the Ontario Provincial Police paint a troubling picture when it comes to speeding on the 401 in Chatham-Kent.
Since June, over 600 Highway Traffic Act charges have been laid with the vast majority, 470, for speeding.
Five drivers have also been hit with stunt driving offences, three face a careless driving charge and one criminal charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle has been laid.
The Chatham-Kent OPP are reminding drivers to slow down in construction zones and obey the posted speed limits.
There's also a reminder that recent changes in the legislation have doubled fines in construction zones when workers are present.
