Driver nabbed at triple the speed limit claimed he was being chased: Kelowna RCMP
Be careful who you flash. A 36-year-old Kelowna man found this out the hard way, when speeding on Highway 97 in the early morning hours of Aug. 4. He was clocked at 218 km/h in a 70 zone, speeding by other vehicles while flashing his lights to move them over. One of the vehicles he flashed his lights at just happened to be an RCMP cruiser. 'This is one of 220 vehicles that have been impounded for excessive speed by Kelowna B.C. highway patrol so far this year,' said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with B.C. highway patrol. 'Speeding at triple the limit is incredibly dangerous at any time of day. The financial penalties are serious, but there are many examples where this kind of speed ends in death.' Despite the main claiming he was being chased by two men — he was unable to provide a description of them — the man's Honda Civic was impounded for seven days. He was also cited for excessive speeding ($483), driving without due care and attention ($68) in addition to the towing and impound fees. He was also given a notice and order for insufficient tires, lowered suspension modifications, and a severely cracked windshield, which he will have to pay for the replacement parts and subsequent inspection.

The vehicle's licence plates were seized and the car will need to pass inspection to be reinsured, and a high-risk driving report was sent to the B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles for an immediate driver's licence review. The attending officer also gave the driver his business card should his memory of the two men chasing him return. He hasn't received a phone call as of press time.
