Today in stupid crimes, a Brampton driver was arrested and charged with multiple offences after posting a video of themselves street racing last month.

Peel Regional Police's Safer Roads Team (SRT) identified the man via a viral video he posted to social media, depicting himself racing in a red convertible Corvette against a green motorcycle.

Police have shared the video responsible for identifying the driver of one of the vehicles, in which they allege the race reached dangerous speeds of 226km/hr in a posted 80km/hr zone in the area of Steeles Avenue East and Airport Road, in Brampton.

While Peel Police alleged on social media that the driver filmed himself, both of the driver's hands can be seen on the steering wheel, meaning that it was actually the front seat passenger recording the dangerous stunt.
