Nope, there is no argument. It's all good. Hope he was fined as well. The OPP caught two corvette drivers last week. Looks like their cars may have a date with the crusher:

Just days after a man was killed as a result of street racing on Highway 400, two people have been charged for allegedly doing the same thing.
A York Regional police officer on his way into work noticed two black Corvettes weaving in and out of traffic at speeds in upwards of 200 km/h around 4:30 p.m. yesterday.

Uniformed officers stopped both cars at Highway 9 and Yonge St. in Newmarket and arrested the drivers.

Police say since both cars were seized because they were modified.

William Henry Casey, 22, of Wilmington, Delaware and Brandon William Edmundson, 23, of Peoria, Arizona have each been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, racing a motor vehicle on a highway and operating a vehicle radar warning device.

Ironically that happened just days after a truck driver was killed on the same hiway as a result of racing:

3 charged in fatal Highway 400 crash

Three young men face charges following Monday's fatal crash on Highway 400 north of Toronto that killed a tractor-trailer driver and closed the busy road for more than 12 hours.

Eleven charges have been laid against the three, including dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving while racing, said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Dave Woodford.

He said the suspects could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.

Witnesses reported several cars speeding and weaving through traffic, causing the tractor-trailer to lose control. The tractor-trailer slammed into a guardrail, then swerved across the northbound lanes and ended up in the ditch.

David Virgoe, 48, of Simcoe was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.

The truck driver was hailed by some as a hero for veering away from traffic and saving lives in the process.

The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. near Bradford and closed the highway until midnight.

Premier Dalton McGuinty, commenting on the latest major accident on the north-south highway, compared a car to a "loaded gun" that must be treated with caution.

The crash occurred just kilometres away from the site of a weekend accident police also blamed on street racing. It left 11 people in hospital.
