Halifax Regional Police have handed a $2,422.50 to a 20-year-old man they say was stunting on Highway 111 Wednesday morning.

The driver was pulled over after an officer spotted a vehicle going 145 km/h in a 80 km/h zone near Mount Hope Avenue at around 7:35 a.m.

A stunting charge is automatic for any vehicle going at least 50 km/h over the speed limit.

In addition to the hefty fine, six points were assigned to his driving record, his licence was suspended for a week and the vehicle was impounded.

He was also ticketed for operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
