A man has been charged with impaired driving after speeding through a school zone in Mount Pearl this morning.

Police say the 40-year-old man was already suspended from driving when he was clocked doing 92 km/hr along Ruth Avenue during the 8 a.m. rush hour.

What’s more, they say there were children in his vehicle at the time.

Police pulled the man over in a parking lot where a demand for a breath sample was made but refused.

The suspect was charged with impaired driving and refusing the breathalyzer. His vehicle was seized and he was also issued tickets for speeding and driving while suspended.

The man, who was not named by police, was released to appear in provincial court at a later date.
