West Shore RCMP say they caught a speeder going 75 km over the posted speed limit on the Trans Canada Highway.
It happened March 4 ago on the TCH near Helmcken Road in View Royal.
A 2024 Hyundai Elantra passed a police car at 165 kilometres per hour. The speed limit at that location is 90.
The vehicle was pulled over and the driver was issued violation tickets for excessive speeding as well as failure to produce a driver’s licence. The driver presented the officer with a photograph of their licence but did not have a physical copy. RCMP are reminding drivers that this is not accepted under the law as driver’s must carry a physical copy of their license with them while driving
The vehicle was also towed and impounded for 7 days.
