When the light changed, the Bentley accelerated to over 186 km/h, after which it was seen rounding a bend and crossing over the centre line into oncoming lanes, police said. Officers were able to arrest the driver when he stopped at a red light.

The Bentley has been impounded for seven days, and the driver has been charged with Dangerous Driving and Failure to Provide a Breath Sample. His license has also been suspended for 90 days.

“The number is outstanding,” said Sgt. Jason McIllveen of the York Regional Police traffic bureau. “It was really a reality check for us.”

Another man was caught going 117 km/h in a posted 60 zone in Vaughan over the weekend, according to police.
