They say age brings wisdom, but a couple of Gatineau drivers who blew through a speed trap on Tuesday night throw cold water on that theory.

The first was 19, and police who were set up on eastbound St. Raymond Boulevard caught him travelling at 154 km/h in a 70 km/h zone.

It’s a long stretch of four-lane road crossing Gatineau Park.

The next driver was 49 — old enough to know better but still travelling at nearly the same speed. He was timed at 143 km/h on the same street.

Each man will have to pay more than $1,300 in fines, and both lose their licences for a week.
