A young Squamish man was one of four people who had his vehicle seized for driving at a speed well past the legal limit on Highway 1 in West Vancouver this week.
On Monday (Jan. 30) at 1 p.m., West Vancouver police pulled over two 19-year-old drivers on the Upper Levels Highway near Taylor Way, the North Shore News reported. Officers clocked one of the drivers driving 55 kilometres per hour over the 90 km/h speed limit. Police seized a 2011 Mercedes B200 and a 2000 Honda Civic at the scene. The vehicles will remain impounded for seven days, the News reported.
At 9:30 p.m., a 19-year-old from Squamish -as it turns out, a friend of the teens targeted earlier in the day - was stopped near the Westmount on-ramp on Highway 1 after having been clocked doing 70 km/h over the posted speed limit. Police seized his car, a 2004 Acura, and issued a citation for speeding that includes a $368 fine.
Also on Monday, police also seized the vehicle of a 65-year-old North Vancouver man who was clocked at 130 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Highway 99 near Ansell Place.
