A Burlington driver has lost his licence and his car has been impounded after it was clocked at more than 100 km/h in a residential neighbourhood Thursday (April 16).

Halton Regional Police clocked the vehicle at 101 km/h in the posted 50 km/h zone in the area of Shoreacres and Lakeshore roads.

The incident has left many residents in the neighbourhood, as well as social media users, angry and bewildered.

"Unthinkable," Terry Scott tweeted.

Romana Ciella, who lives in the area, said speeding on that stretch of road is common after 9 p.m. and she has nearly been hit by vehicles while putting the garbage out to the curb. She said she and others are incensed at the dangerous driving in the area.

The driver, whose name hasn't been released because the charges aren't criminal, has been charged with stunt driving. His licence has been suspended for seven days and his car has been impounded for seven days as well.
