An Ontario G1 driver was recently busted going around 100 km/h over the speed limit on Highway 404, and they ended up paying for it.

According to the OPP Highway Safety Division, the driver was charged with Stunt Driving alongside other Class G1 Licence offences including a 7-day licence suspension and vehicle impoundment.

The accused was reportedly caught travelling 211km/h, which according to the International Union of Railways is as fast as the typical train travels on a high-speed rail.

It's also worth noting that G1 drivers aren't even allowed to travel 400-series highways or any high-speed expressway, so that's a double no-no.

A similar incident was reported back in March of 2020 when a Toronto driver was caught going 213 km/h on Highway 401.
