Drivers, slow down. A 17-year-old got a hefty speeding ticket from the OPP after he was clocked driving as fast as a high-speed train on Highway 401 near Kingston, Ontario. 

The youth was clocked driving 198 kilometres an hour in a 100 zone. That's the same as a high-speed train! 

Worse still, the teen was driving his dad's car. The vehicle was towed by police and has now been impounded for seven days.
