The comments below said it was a an X6M. 555 hp.

Crazy stuff. It's extreme to do that on a wide open highway daytime with limits of 110km, but at night in a 70 zone?

It wasn't very fast as a total speed, but at a 70KPH zone is just stupidly not worth it

I didn't see that mention of an X6M. SUV at 240 km/h on city streets? Wow...even if that SUV is an M.

149 mph in a 44 mph zone is pretty dumb.

Doing those speeds anywhere but a closed circuit is stupid - period.

MONTREAL — Surete du Quebec officers operating an overnight speed trap caught a very fast driver Friday morning.

At 3 a.m. police officers operating a radar gun spotted a car flying along the Ville Marie Expressway, which is a 70 km/h zone, at more than 3 times the posted limit.

The driver pulled over near the Atwater exit and was fined $2598 for going 240 km/h.

He was also handed 42 demerit points, his license was immediately revoked for two years, and the car was impounded.

Despite several rumours, Sgt. Genevieve Bruneau could not confirm that the driver was a valet from a hotel driving a client's car, however she did say that the speeder had not been drinking, and that police did not have to chase him in order to pull him over.

"The only thing I can tell you is that we gave him a ticket, but we are not currently investigating a theft," she said.

While the driver's demerit points will be erased after two years, if he is caught speeding in the next decade he will face harsher penalties.

I agree. Speeding on any public road is sheer stupidity.

This idiot driver deserves everything he's getting. Imagine if a car turned on to the street in front of him? What if he T boned that car?

In a heart beat, he could be facing involuntary manslaughter and prison instead of a speeding ticket.

If you're going to do something stupid. Do it on your own time and somewhere where you can't hurt anyone else.
