Project Byrock was focused on speeding motorcycles, but highway patrol officers ended up stopping other motorists as well.

More than 30 stunt driving charges have been handed down by OPP in the capital over the last few months, through Project Byrock.

Members of the Ottawa Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa Police Service, OPP Highway Safety Division and OPP Aviation Service focused attention on motorcyclists on Ottawa highways between August and October.

OPP Aviation Services monitored highways and spotted 12 motorcycles travelling between 150 km/hr and 200 km/hr. One rider was seen passing other vehicles on Highway 417 near Nicholas Avenue, while popping a wheelie.

Although Project Byrock was centred on motorcycles, 20 other motorists were charged after being caught travelling at speeds greater than 150 km/hr. Police say all of them had their driver's licenses suspended and their vehicles seized immediately for seven days.

The Ottawa OPP wants to remind all motorists to obey traffic laws and drive safely. It says officers are out on the highways 24 hours a day and seven days a week, to ensure public safety.
