Man Caught Driving 222 km/h East of Toronto

How fast have you ever driven a vehicle?

140 km/h? 160?

How about over 220 km/h?

That's how fast one man was caught driving earlier this week on the 401 near Port Hope. 

The OPP caught the driver by plane initially.  Jason Miller - a reporter with the Belleville Intelligencer says he was in the OPP plane, and says he saw a black dot on the ground driving much faster than any of the other cars on the road.

The pilot radioed down the report and officers on the ground pulled over the driver.

30-year-old Matthew Lichty of Kitchener had his car impounded, his license suspended for 7 days and was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and marijuana possession.

He's due in a Cobourg court November 7th.

    What I always wonder in these cases is how after such a charge/conviction the driver could EVER afford auto insurance? Its expensive enough for me and I have no traffic convictions. Wouldnt the risk of death and future insurance cost be enough to make these idiots think? Guess not.
