Documents obtained through access to information requests have revealed that vehicles registered to Ontario Premier Doug Ford's cabinet were clocked speeding 23 times over a three-year period, accumulating more than $3,300 in fines.

When asked to identify which specific ministers owned the vehicles involved in these speeding incidents, the government declined to release the names. The government's stated reason for withholding this information was that naming the ministers would reveal their "travel habits," according to the documents.

The disclosure raises questions about transparency regarding the conduct of government vehicles and their operators. The speeding incidents and associated fines represent a documented pattern of traffic violations involving vehicles connected to the provincial cabinet.
