Ontario Provincial Police say a 49-year-old driver has been charged with careless driving after a farm truck was caught going 92 km/h.
The OPP said the incident occurred around 2:15 p.m. on Nov. 11 in Mapleton Township, which is roughly 50 kilometres west of Orangeville, Ont.
Officers pulled over a truck hauling farm equipment after catching it on radar.
“The piece of farm equipment was also observed to be occupying almost both lanes of traffic, posing as a traffic hazard,” the OPP told Global News in an email.

The driver was charged as a result of the piece of farm equipment exceeding 40 km/h, and the OPP said the tires on the truck had a safety rating only designed to be driving at 40 km/h.
The OPP said Friday in a post on X the speed is more than double the maximum allowed speed for certain types of farm equipment operating on Ontario roads.
