Learner Gets Motorcycle Impounded for Traveling at 177 Km/h in an 80 Zone on Highway 99
Police said the rider faces a $483 ticket and nearly $2,500 in costs after the 177 km/h stop.
- On July 11, a Highway Patrol officer near Furry Creek on the Sea to Sky Highway clocked a 22-year-old Vancouver woman traveling at 177 km/h in an 80 zone.
- The driver held only a Class 7 passenger vehicle learner and Class 8 motorcycle learner license; being 97 km/h over the limit could easily have repeated a tragedy from one week ago on the same Highway.
- Police impounded her motorcycle for seven days, with Corporal Michael McLaughlin citing the "egregious speed and lack of experience of the rider."
- She faces a $483 fine and three years of high-risk driver insurance premiums; Police are also recommending a high-risk driving review for the rider.
- "Sometimes we feel like a broken record when we say that speed kills people," Corporal Michael McLaughlin said. But clearly some people are not getting the message.
