A Markham, Ont., man faces a stunt driving charge and his excuse to an officer for speeding was quickly flushed away.
According to Peterborough County OPP, an officer south of Peterborough clocked a vehicle along Hwy. 115 travelling 155 km/h in a posted 100 km/h zone.
OPP say during the traffic stop, the driver of the SUV told the officer he was en route to Buckhorn, north of Peterborough, to go fishing.
“(He) thought telling the Peterborough County OPP officer he was looking for a washroom would get him out of trouble … it didn’t,” OPP stated on the Central Region OPP’s Facebook page.
