Speeding teen fined $1,800 after crashing stepmom's BMW: B.C. Highway Patrol
The B.C. Highway Patrol provided this photo of a BMV that crashed into a dump truck on July 21, 2025. A 16-year-old driving his stepmother's BMW sped past police and ran a stop sign before crashing into a dump truck last week, according to the B.C. Highway Patrol. The driver, who had a learner's licence, was clocked going 180 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley, Mounties said in a statement. 'To the officer, the speeding grey BMW made other highway traffic look like it was standing still,' said Cpl. Corporal Michael McLaughlin, B.C. Highway Patrol spokesperson. 'The BMW was not pursued, but a few minutes later, a driver called police and said a grey BMW had gone through a stop sign and collided with his parked dump truck.' Police fined the driver more than $1,800 for violations of the Motor Vehicle Act including excessive speeding, driving without due care and attention, and failing to obey a stop sign. Three of the fines were for violating the conditions of his learner's licence by failing to display an 'L' sign, carrying too many passengers and driving without a supervisor. The teen has also been banned from driving for a year. 'The passengers were not impressed. Hopefully the driver will learn that peer pressure works both ways,' McLaughlin said. 'He will also have to explain why his stepmother's car is sitting in an impound lot with thousands of dollars in damage.'
