Quebec speeder clocked at 240 km/h

Quebec provincial police stopped a man driving 240 kilometres an hour on Montreal's Ville-Marie Expressway early Friday in one of the worst cases of speeding in Canadian history.

The car was caught on radar in a 70 km/h zone at 3 a.m. ET, and police stopped the BMW SUV just before it entered the tunnel.

Police spokeswoman Geneviève Bruneau said the 20-year-old man's licence has been suspended.

"The man who was driving the car received a ticket of $2,598 and he also received 42 demerit points," Bruneau added.

Bruneau said that normally, drivers can only be assessed a maximum of 15 demerit points, but new provincial laws allow more points to be taken away from particularly egregious offenders.

In Quebec, drivers are given 30 or more demerit points if they surpass the speed limit by 121 km/h or more. Licences are suspended when drivers receive 15 demerit points or more, and the suspension period lasts between 3 months and 12 months depending on prior offences.

Bruneau said the driver was sober and co-operated with police. His car was towed away and he will have to pay towing costs to get it back.

Incident could make history

Quebec's automobile insurance corporation, the SAAQ, said they are searching their records to see whether Friday's incident is the worst in the province's history.

But the incident is easily among the most notable speeding cases in Canada in recent memory.

Last September, two motorcyclists were caught going 220 km/h on a highway in Quebec's Eastern Townships, and two cars were caught racing at speeds up to 200 km/h on Mount Seymour Parkway in North Vancouver, BC.

In 2009, a man on a motorcycle was clocked by police radar doing 210 km/h on a stretch of Saskatoon's Idylwyld Freeway, and last October, a Thornhill, Ont. man was caught going 200km/h on Highway 407.

I got tagged doing 134 on the Don Valley - 90KM limit - about twenty years ago and got a $30 ticket. I got nailed doing just over 130 on the Gardiner (90km limit) about ten years ago and got a $360 ticket - and the cop gave me a HUGE break on that one.

I don't even want to think what it would cost now. I just hire cars when I need them.
