Caledon OPP have charged a 21-year-old Erin man who apparently was in too much of a hurry last Thursday.
Police report an officer was conducting radar enforcement on Mayfield Road, outside Mayfield Secondary School when she spotted a silver 2008 Honda travelling at high speed. The officer determined the car was going 117 km-h in a posted 40 Community Safety Zone.
The car was stopped and the driver was charged with racing a motor vehicle. His licence was suspended for seven days and the car was impounded for a similar period.
Police are reminding motorists that the fines are doubled for speeding through Community Safety Zones, or near schools.
