A Canadian father’s love for his offspring was tested after his 23-year-old son got caught driving his eighth-generation Corvette at 186 km/h (115 mph) in an area with a posted speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph).

The young driver was nabbed in Brampton, Ontario, just outside of Toronto, Peel Regional Police said in a social media post. The department also showed a picture of a radar gun showing a speed of 186 km/h (115 mph), next to a photo of the blue C8 Corvette on the back of a tow truck.

Police say that the driver is being charged with stunt driving, which kicks in when a vehicle is traveling at more than 40 km/h (25 mph) over the maximum on roads with a speed limit of less than 80 km/h (50 mph), among other criteria. The charge comes with an immediate 30-day driver’s license suspension.

Furthermore, as evident, the speeding charge not only leads to the immediate seizure of the vehicle at the roadside but also entails a mandatory 14-day impoundment. However, these consequences are just the beginning of the driver’s legal issues, as outlined by the province.

If the 23-year-old accused of speeding is found guilty, he could be subject to a minimum fine of $2,000, and a maximum fine of $10,000 (equivalent to around $1,500- $7,500 USD at current exchange rates). Additionally, he would receive six demerit points on his license and could potentially face a jail term of up to six months.

The driver is also looking at a mandatory driver improvement course and a minimum one-year license suspension, if this is his first conviction. The province can ban a driver from being licensed after their fourth stunt driving conviction.
