A Toronto man has been arrested
for driving nearly 100
kilometres over the speed
limit in the Peterborough area
early this morning.
The man, 23, was driving a
Mercedes at 199 km/h in a
100 km/h posted zone on
Highway 115 in Cavan, Ont.
shortly after midnight when
the car caught the attention
of an Ontario Provincial Police
officer who stopped and
charged the driver.
Zilong Fang of Brian Harrison
Way in Toronto is
charged with speeding. Only
a half hour earlier, Peterborough
OPP arrested another
driver for speeding on the
same highway in the same area.
A Chrysler travelling at 153
km/h in a posted 100 km/h
zone was stopped and the female
driver arrested.

$10K fine? You all are getting some strict rules on speeding up there in the far north

I know where that Hwy 115 is..it's not a place to be doing that kind of speed.

As for the 10k fine, I'm glad I'm no longer living in Ontario! BTW, you'd have to get caught first.

Look Out after Saturday

Ontario’s new street-racing
law comes into force Saturday
at midnight, and OPP Sgt.
Cam Woolley says drivers
will be shocked and awed.
If a driver is caught going 50
kilometres over the speed
limit, police will impound the
vehicle for seven days, issue a
minimum $2,000 fine and
suspend the driver’s licence
for seven days.
“This is going to be a good
day for safety,” says Brian
Patterson, president of the
Ontario Safety League.
And what a difference a day
will make for many.
On Saturday, if you are
caught going 160 km/h in a
100 zone, you would receive a
summons to appear in court
and be on your way.
A few hours later, under the
new law, that same offence
will get your car impounded,
“and you better get your bus
pass out,” Patterson says.
Street-racing law takes effect

Big change from the old days... I got a speeding ticket back on the late 80s traveling between Toronto and Detroit (401??? if I remember) I was doing 110MPH. (not KPH) When the officer stopped me his first reponse was to ask why I pulled over. He said that he was driving a POS Chrysler and that he never would have caught me if I hadn't slowed down
I think the total fine was something like $40 CDN.
