Halifax RCMP stopped a driver that was going more than 100 km/h over the limit Sunday night.

The 21-year-old Bedford man was going 248 km/h in a 110 km/h zone, according to an RCMP news release.

He faces stunting charges and his BMW i8 car was towed, police say.

In Nova Scotia, stunting carries:

- a fine of $2,422.50
- six license demerit points
- immediate seven-day driver’s license suspension

Last night, at approximately 11:30 p.m., an officer from RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment was conducting traffic stop on Hwy. 103, when a BMW i8 was observed on radar travelling at 248 km/h in a 110 km/h zone. 1/2 https://t.co/Inaiggzljb pic.twitter.com/DYHjbqg2Wf
