A 27-year-old Newmarket man is charged with stunt driving after videos were posted on TikTok and Instagram of a motorcyclist driving on local roads at speeds up to 261 km/h.
He was arrested Aug. 25 after a citizen made an online complaint, York Regional Police said.
Police posted a video on Twitter of a motorcyclist driving around traffic in a high-occupancy vehicle lane on a York Region highway while filming his speedometer with a GoPro camera.
Danial Loganathan, 27, of Newmarket, is charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle and stunt driving. He faces fines of up to $10,000 if convicted, but for now his licence was suspended for a month and a Yamaha R6 was seized for two weeks.
"Thanks to a @YRP investigation and tips from the public, he’s facing several dangerous driving and stunt driving charges,” police said in a tweet that showed a motorcycle being towed in a local neighbourhood.
