A 38-year-old Thornhill man was reportedly caught driving 218 kilometres per hour in Richmond Hill on Friday.

He was pulled over by the Ontario Provincial Police on Hwy. 407 and Woodbine Ave. — a 100 km/h zone. The man’s licence was suspended, and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

“We don’t get too too many vehicles going that fast,” said OPP Staff Sgt. Michael Di Pasquale, although he couldn’t speak to the number of drivers clocked at 200 km/hr or more this year.

Back in 2010, a 47-year-old Thornhill man was charged after racing down Hwy. 407 one October morning at 200 km/hr. And in 2009, a 26-year-old Toronto man was pulled over for driving on Hwy. 400 at 250 kilometres an hour.

If convicted, the maximum fine for the first offence of stunt driving is $2,000 and six demerit points. A further driving suspension may also be ordered if a driver is convicted, Di Pasquale said.
