On Thursday, July 16, 2009, at 11:34 p.m., an officer was conducting speed enforcement in the Martingrove Road/Steeles Avenue West area.

It is alleged that:

- the officer saw two cars driving at what appeared to be a high rate of speed south on Martingrove Road,

- with a speed measuring device, the officer activated the laser which registered an immediate reading of 200 km/h, in a posted 50 km/h speed limit area.

Both drivers, 20 and 21, were charged with:

1. Racing – Driving at a Rate of Speed – Marked Departure.

A seven-day licence suspension and the impounding of each vehicle for seven days were also imposed on each driver.

Traffic Services reconstructionists were contacted, regarding this speed. Some interesting facts are:

• 200 km/h equals a rate of travel of 55.6 meters per second,
• under ideal conditions, with full braking, it would take a car 209.79 meters to stop, equal to more than two football fields at that rate of speed,
• the time to stop would be 7.5 seconds.
