A 19-year-old from Upper Tantallon is facing a big fine after he was caught driving 200 km/h in a 110 km/h zone.

Just before midnight on Sunday, RCMP stopped the man between Exit 3 and Exit 4 on Highway 103, clocking him at 90 km/h above the speed limit.

Police seized the vehicle and the newly licensed driver had his licence immediately suspended for seven days. If he's convicted, he faces a fine of $2,422.50 and a six-point penalty on his driving record.

"Stunting occurs when a person operates a motor vehicle, racing or travelling, more than 50 km/h over the speed limit," said RCMP in a news release.

"The RCMP takes these matters very seriously as speeding, and driving aggressively, in such a fashion is one of the leading causes of accidents, injuries and deaths on our roads and highways."

Police say they will continue to target this type of dangerous driving.
