The driver was clocked going 129 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, according to Ottawa police. The driver was one of three people officers stopped Sunday morning on Bronson. Another driver going 105 km/h was nabbed for stunt driving, and a third was ticketed for driving without insurance.
All three vehicles were towed.
Police said one of the drivers was also using his cell phone and had a spare tire on, which is only rated for speeds up to 80 km/h.
