Police were taken for a wild ride on Thursday night when they stopped a driver speeding at nearly 200 km/hour on the highway in Ontario.

Officers learned that the driver only had his G2, and was taking his girlfriend for a joy ride.

OPP say that the driver was forced to call for a ride home after they impounded the car and suspended his licence.

The young man wasn't the only stunt driver that was pulled over on Highway 417 last night.

Another driver was caught taking his father's car for a spin — at 186 km/h. He also had his vehicle impounded and licence suspended. And he's probably getting grounded too.

Police are asking that everyone keep their driving to a legal speed.

"It's #Friday13th, please, slow down and enjoy the ride," they tweeted.
