He adds that the vehicle was impounded by the Collision Investigation.
Another vehicle impounded by our Collision Investigation
Unit. This 鈥淣鈥� driver was travelling 142 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, next to a park and elementary school. The officers likely prevented the need to investigate a deadly crash caused by his foolish speed.

Under the Motor Vehicle Act Section 148(1), this driver would be charged with excessive speeding since he was driving over 60 km/h above the limit. This would result in a fine of at least $483 and three penalty points.
Throughout the month of November, The VPD Traffic Unit is focusing on pedestrian safety. During the fall and winter months, visibility on the roads declines due to shorter daylight hours. As such, VPD recommend that pedestrians wear bright and reflective clothing so that drivers can see them.
