A Friday-night traffic blitz on the Sea-to-Sky Highway ended with seven vehicles impounded and a string of excessive-speed tickets, West Vancouver Police said.
Officers using speed enforcement recorded a top reading of 180 km/h in a 90 km/h zone. A learner driver was clocked at 160 km/h without a supervising driver, the department reported. Police also stopped four motorcyclists at a roadblock and issued tickets to each for excessive speed.
“The dangerous choices these drivers made put everyone on the road in harm’s way,” police said in a statement, warning that similar enforcement will continue through the summer. Under B.C. law, drivers caught exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 km/h face immediate seven-day vehicle impoundments and fines starting at $368.
