A speeder was looking to get off easy after being clocked at well over twice the speed limit in Cambridge, according to the OPP highway safety division.

An officer stopped a car on Hespeler Road that was clocked at 169 km/h, and that had also been going as fast as 175 km/h, according to a post from the OPP on Twitter.

The speed limit on that stretch of Hespeler Road is 80 km/h.
