A 27-year-old Vancouver man was forced to cancel his weekend plans when he was stopped by police on Saturday, May 16 at 5 p.m. while driving a white Jeep full of camping gear. A laser reader clocked the Jeep at a speed of 148 km/h in a 90 zone on Highway 99 near Squamish.
The driver was directed to blow into an Approved Screening Device, and when the device gave a reading of “fail,” he was issued the following:
- An Immediate Roadside Prohibition from driving for 90 days (including the seizure of the driver’s licence and the responsibility to pay for a replacement),
- A ticket for excessive speed (41-60 km/h over the limit) for a fine of $368,
- A mandatory 30-day vehicle impound (the vehicle was a courtesy car from a car dealership),
- A ticket for driving contrary to restrictions (the man was a Class 5 Learner who was required to have a supervisor while driving) for a fine of $109,
- A ticket for having open liquor in a vehicle ($230),
- At least three years of high-risk driver premiums (bringing the total costs to well above $2,600).
“Speed and alcohol are two of the top three causes of death on BC roads,” says Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “Never start the party on the road. Instead, leave early enough so that you enjoy the journey and don’t lose your vehicle or your life.”
