A man faces stunt driving charges after Ontario Provincial Police clocked him travelling 250 km/h on Highway 400 just after midnight.

"That's unbelievable," said OPP Sgt. Dave Woodford. "First of all, it's not safe. Secondly, he's not just endangering himself – he's endangering everyone else on the road. It's just completely insane."

The suspect was driving an Infinity G35 south on 400 near Finch when he was tracked with a laser around 12:30 a.m., Woodford said.

Police charged him with stunt driving, sometimes referred to as street racing, under the province's Highway Safety Act. He had his car impounded and his license suspended as a result of the charge.

Woodford said the man could face a fine of anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 if he's found guilty.

Why are comments turned off on the 'mandatory jail sentences' post? Curious - I wanted to say something.
