A Kingston man has been busted for driving more than twice the speed limit on Highway 401.
A Lennox and Addington OPP officer running radar on Highway 401 by Switzerville Road Sunday morning around 7:15, clocked an eastbound vehicle at 252 km/hr.
As police were closing in on the vehicle it could be seen swerving lane to lane passing other vehicles erratically.
Police were able to catch up to the vehicle as it slowed down due to heavy traffic blocking the vehicle, stopping the driver just east of County Road 6 without incident.
While searching the vehicle, police found a small quantity of cannabis easily accessible to the driver.
A 40-year-old unidentified man is charged with stunt driving, careless driving and driving with cannabis readily available.
The accused, who is to appear in court in Napanee at a later date, had his licence suspended for 30 days and vehicle impounded for 14 days.
