Surrey RCMP catch new driver street racing at nearly 200 km/h

CTV Vancouver
Published Friday, May 6, 2016 12:40PM PDT

A 22-year-old new driver has been dinged with a $486 fine after police allegedly clocked him street racing at almost 100 kilometres over the speed limit through Metro Vancouver.

The young man, who is still in B.C.’s graduated licensing program, was first spotted zooming down Highway 1 through Surrey in a 2008 Infiniti G37 early Thursday morning.

Mounties said a traffic officer started following the car after catching it going 140 kilometres an hour near the 152nd Street off-ramp, only for the driver to accelerate even faster for an apparent race with another vehicle.

“As the officer attempted to close the distance between himself and the Infiniti, he noted that this vehicle appeared to be jockeying for side by side position with a second vehicle,” the RCMP said in a release.

The cars eventually hit a recklessly dangerous 197 km/h in a 100-kilometre zone, according to Mounties.

One driver escaped off the 176th Street off-ramp, but the Infiniti was pulled over near the 192nd Street exit.

The driver, an Abbotsford resident, was ticketed for excessive speeding, handed a 15-day driving ban, and his car was impounded for a week.

Investigators are searching for witnesses who can help identify the second vehicle involved in the apparent street race.

Anyone who was going down Highway 1 from 152nd Street to 176th Street around 1:20 a.m. Thursday is asked to call the Port Mann Traffic Services at 604-526-9744.

Situation could have been worse..
Either get into a fatal crash or get pulled and impounded..
Life lesson regardless
Glad to see RCMP was able to stop them and reduce the risk of more potential danger on the road..

Won't be long before we see a thread on how to dispute this ticket because the cop wrote his name wrong on the ticket and how it will hold up in court.

Is it just me, or do almost all of our BC driving violation fines seem way too lenient? Nevermind the ridiculously pocket-change-like $167 for distracted driving, $486 for street racing while possessing a New Driver license? That's not scaring anyone, the guy will continue doing the same shit as soon as he gets his car back. How about doubling or tripling that and see the reaction?

That's just a start. More costs to come including losing drivers license.

It is more than just the $486.

If he doesn't get it thrown out or reduced, he should be looking at a towing charge, possibly impound storage fee, ICBC's DRP for $320 and the penalty point premiums.

I think there's a 3 point limit on N drivers so if he has had any other tickets this, he can be open to suspension and sent back to L.

that's just roadside, more shit will come after from motor vehicle superintendent of a further ban, and the amount of money needed to reinstate licence (after quite some time of course)

Tbh these speeds are nothing. It just really depends on traffic and weather. If it's clear then imo it should be ok. Try driving in Germany. 200km/h is the average. I really wish I could drive as fast as I did there. Good times

^ Sure, if you want everyone to have to take German-style license tests, and German-level vehicle inspections to the tune of a bunch of extra money.

That's not even the highest ticket amount, is there no excessive speed mark beyond 40 over?

Wait...

I remember few years back those Ferrari going 100 over had their $200K cars forfeited and auctioned off..?

after the ticket you get hit with the impound fee, which usually ends up being a $100 tow depending where you are and around $25 for each day you are impounded. With the Drivers Risk penalty it ends up being $320 each year for 3 consecutive years.

so yes, its substantially more than $486

edit: ^ oops i missed discusssing this

If the person is found legally not guilty, its bs that the accused has to pay for all the storage and tow fees. I'm not saying this is the case at hand, but this system is so flawed.
