An Ontario teenager will have to wait to get a full driver’s licence after allegedly driving at double the speed limit on the way to his road test.
Provincial police say they pulled over the 19-year-old west of London last week after clocking him at nearly 160 kilometres an hour in an 80-kilometre zone.
They say four people were in the car — all travelling to an exam centre in nearby Clinton to take their driving tests.
All of the passengers were running late for the exams.
Police charged the teen with racing, and suspended his licence.
He also found himself on the hook for cab fare home to London.
