Cobourg police are calling on residents to slow it down when behind the wheel.
Just last Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, the Cobourg Police Service said officers dished out 13 speeding tickets across town.
In one alleged incident, a stunt charge was also laid when police said they clocked a vehicle on Elgin Street West at 94 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
The driver also had their licence suspended for 30 days, and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
Following these incidents, police put out a call on social media urging residents to slow down and obey posted speed limits to help keep local roads safe for everyone.
The 94 km/h in a 50 zone is striking, but what stands out is that 13 tickets came from a single day's enforcement. That suggests the issue may be less about one reckless driver and more about a broader pattern of speeding that only gets addressed when police happen to focus resources there. I'd be curious whether this was a targeted blitz or routine patrol, since that distinction shapes whether the problem is truly widespread or just newly visible.
