Quebec provincial police stopped a man driving 240 kilometres an hour on Montreal's Ville-Marie Expressway(应该是在720) 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.
However, the man is not the fastest speeder caught by Quebec authorities. Police say they have stopped a driver speeding at 242 km/h. But he was driving in a 100 km/h zone and lost 36 demerit points.(A lead-footed Quebec motorist was caught driving so fast ....Police won't confirm reports that the man was a valet at a downtown Montreal hotel, and that he was taking out a guest's BMW for a joyride.)
The BMW SUV wasn't stolen, but was towed after the driver was stopped. The car has now been returned to its owner, police said.
