A driver speeding on Highway 99 was ticketed and the vehicle towed and impounded for seven days. On April 28, Squamish RCMP officers were conducting speed enforcement on Highway 99 near Furry Creek.
Using laser, the officers saw a blue pickup truck travelling 157 km/hr in an 80 km/hr zone. Police stopped the vehicle and found out the driver was not the registered owner of the vehicle.
The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days. A ticket was issued to the driver and the registered owner was told about this ticket and the impoundment of the vehicle.
Today, ICBC and police announced they are launching a month-long campaign to warn drivers that driving too fast – even in ideal road conditions – can have tragic consequences.
Police will be targeting speeding drivers during May, and Speed Watch volunteers will also be set up in communities across B.C. to remind drivers of the speed they’re travelling.
