An 84-year-old Oakville man is facing a charge of street racing after allegedly tearing up a Peterborough highway.

Police said on Monday at 10:30 a.m. Peterborough County OPP officers were conducting radar patrols on Hwy. 28 when they clocked a car travelling 50 km over the posted speed limit of 80 kmh. Police caught up with the vehicle and pulled it over.

The Oakville resident has been charged with racing a motor vehicle.

The street racing law, which came into effect in September, allows police to impound the offending vehicle for seven days, suspend the driver's licence for seven days and carries a minimum fine of $2,000.

He is scheduled to appear in the Peterborough Provincial Court on Sept. 8.
