Three drivers were fined and had their vehicles impounded following a dangerous street racing incident in West Vancouver.
The incident occurred on July 17, 2024, at approximately 4:21 a.m. when a West Vancouver police officer observed three vehicles travelling at high speed on Highway 99 near Westmount Road.
The officer estimated the vehicles’ speeds to be more than 160 km/h, later confirmed by radar to be 178 km/h. With the assistance of another officer, the group was safely pulled over. The drivers received violation tickets for excessive speeding, and their vehicles were impounded for one week.
“This type of behavior is incredibly dangerous and puts members of the public at risk,” said Sgt. Chris Bigland of the West Vancouver Police Department. “Given the recent spate of tragic accidents, both here in West Vancouver and throughout the province, we implore drivers to obey the speed limit and drive responsibly.”
Thank you so much for stopping and impounding the street racers. Their cars and licenses should be removed for a year and they should have to clean up the scenes of crashes and take mandatory first aid courses and driving lessons.
A ticket and Impound for one week that’s nothing but a joke, not even a slap on the hand.
What are these fools going to learn from that absolutely nothing.
