A man was charged with stunt driving and speeding on Friday morning after allegedly driving more than 100 kilometres over the speed limit in the Town of Georgina.

Police said an officer, who had set up a speed limit checkpoint in a rural area on Old Homestead Road, spotted a silver Honda that looked like it was going very fast just before 7 a.m.

A speed radar allegedly registered the vehicle moving at a speed of 171 kilometres an hour in a zone where the speed limit was posted at 70 kilometres an hour.

A 21-year-old driver from the Town of Keswick was charged and his vehicle was impounded and will be held for seven days. His license was also suspended.
