The incident happened last Sunday in Dashwood

Excuses are not going to cut it.

That's the message from provincial police in South Huron, Ont.

Police say a driver from LaSalle was clocked going 107 kilometres per hour in a 50 kilometre zone last Sunday afternoon in Dashwood.

According to police, a Huron County OPP officer was conducting radar patrol on Main Street when he saw a westbound vehicle speeding into town.

After being stopped, the 21-year-old driver told the officer "he didn't realize he was in a 50 km/h zone."

The driver has been charged with Drive Motor Perform a Stunt - Excessive Speed.

His licence is now suspended and his vehicle has been impounded for seven days.

He will appear in a Goderich court in October.
