Ontario's street racing law allows officers to immediately impound the offenders car. According to the article:
"...his car has been seized and will be held for seven days. His licence has been suspended. If convicted, a driver travelling more than 50 km/h over the speed limit faces a fine ranging from a minimum of $2,000 up to $10,000."
The law kicks in anytime someone is caught exceeding the limit by 50 km/h or more (about 30 mph). Obviously, the emphasis here is on "more."
The "highway" in question is actually a road, not a divided, Interstate-type freeway. According to what I could see in Google Maps, its four-lanes in some section and two lane in others.
Driving at 240 km/h on a road with regular intersections is downright criminal. Plus, it was at night, meaning that even with high beams, the driver was grossly overdriving his lights.
I like to drive a bit quick .. but this was way over the top!
