The York Regional Police knows what's up. And by that, we're referring to both the fact that the Canadian officers are committing to their duties and keeping up with the latest trends in the automotive realm. Alas, these efforts of the cops didn't exactly end well for the driver of a 2019 Aston Martin Vantage.
As you can notice in the image we have here, a Lime Essence example of the machine is resting on the back of a truck. Fortunately, we're not here to talk about such a Gaydon machine being involved in an accident. Nevertheless, we're referring to the next worst thing, with the GT having been impounded.
The British machine was clocked doing 158 km/h (100 mph) in a 40 km/h (25 mph) school zone in Vaughan. Having gotten their hands on the car, the officers took to Twitter to share the moment with the world, obviously making an example out of this driver - the man is also facing stunt driving, dangerous driving and speeding charges.
Was the said speed limit still necessary on a Sunday, at 8 pm, when the speeding episode occurred? We're not really sure, but we can give you some extra details of the matter, which come from the police department's website.
So here's how it all happened: "An officer on patrol spotted a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Martin Grove Road just south of Highway 7. The speed measuring device in the police cruiser showed that the vehicle was traveling at 158 kilometers per hour in a posted 40 kilometer per hour school zone,"
The 2019 Vantage was taken into custody for seven days, with the 31-year-old driver facing the multiple charges mentioned above.
The York Regional Police is determined to make enthusiasts think twice when stepping on the gas on public roads, hence its strong message.
"Project ERASE [which involves actions like the one seen here] is an awareness and enforcement campaign operated jointly by police services across Ontario and in partnership with the Government of Ontario, with the goal of eliminating street racing and other high-risk driving behaviors [...].The real finish line may be court, fines, jail, vehicle seizure, a loss of driving privileges or even worse, the hospital or the morgue,"

This lovely 2019 Aston Martin is parked on a tow truck. That's because we've impounded it after the driver was clocked going 158km/h in a 40km/h school zone last night in Vaughan.
