A Brampton resident is facing a slew of charges after Middlesex County OPP stopped them allegedly travelling nearly 200 km/h on Highway 401 because they were “late for work.”
According to Middlesex County OPP, at 2:38 a.m. on Tuesday, an officer on general patrol observed a vehicle in the westbound lanes on Highway 401 in Thames Centre, travelling at nearly double the posted 100 km/h speed limit.
The officer then performed a traffic stop.
Police said the driver was clocked in at 192 km/h in a posted 100 km/h zone.
“Being late for work does not give you the right to travel at nearly double the posted speed limit!” police said on social media.
As a result, a 28-year-old resident Brampton is facing the charges under the Traffic Act:
The driver’s license has been suspended for 30 days and the vehicle has been impounded for 14 days.
