308 KMH is 191 MPH, MB C63 AMG.

A 19-year-old motorist who was driving his dad’s Mercedes was allegedly caught speeding at around three times the posted limit on the QEW, according to the OPP.

An officer clocked the G2 driver’s car travelling at 308 km/h when he was pulled over Saturday on the QEW, near Burlington, at around 10 p.m., said OPP spokesman Sgt. Kerry Schmidt.


The veteran officer said this is the fastest case of alleged speeding he has encountered while on the job.

“This is absolutely egregious,” Schmidt added.

“As the officer got the vehicle stopped, traffic that was going by was honking in delight that this driver was taken off the road,” Schmidt said.

The driver, who was with another 19-year-old male passenger, was hit with an automatic seven-day driver’s licence suspension. The vehicle was impounded.

He was charged with stunt driving and dangerous driving.

“It’s going to be a somber Mother’s Day, I would suspect,” Schmidt told CP24.
