TORONTO - An Ohio driver gave a uniquely blunt answer after being confronted by police for allegedly speeding – he “was just showing off."

Body cam footage on Sept. 12 shows an officer speaking to a man allegedly pulled over for driving more than 131 miles per hour (210 km/h) .

“You know how fast you were going,†the officer says. “Everyone was honking their horn as they’re going by.â€

But when asked what the hurry was, the driver simply said he “was just showing off.â€

His blunt honesty did him no favours with local law enforcement, who said he could have caused a very serious crash.

The accused is facing charges for speeding and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.

He will appear in court later this month.
