Speeding Ferrari On Lions Gate Bridge Impounded Longer, Driving Ban Considered

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 06 Jul, 2017 01:51 PM

VANCOUVER — West Vancouver police say the length of time that a sports car will be impounded has been extended to 60 days after its driver was allegedly caught going 210 kilometres and hour in a 60 zone.

The 2015 Ferrari 458 was initially impounded for seven days when the driver was stopped for speeding on the Lion's Gate Bridge early Tuesday.

Police say that the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles reviewed the case and has chosen to extend the impound order.

The 22-year-old West Vancouver man behind the wheel was served with an order to appear in court in September on charges of excessive speed and driving without due care and attention.

Police also say they will be giving "supplemental reports" to the superintendent to consider for ordering a prohibition from driving against the man, which if enforced will be separate from the recommended Motor Vehicle Act charges.

Police have previously said the same officer stopped the same driver for a similar offence on the bridge in April, and at that time the Ferrari was allegedly travelling at more than 130 kilometres per hour.
