A pair of high-end sports cars were caught speeding on Highway 1 and impounded near Chilliwack.

BC Highway Patrol said that officers impounded a blue Audi and a rented black Porsche at about 3 p.m. on Saturday (March 30) for racing at speeds that were more than double the speed limit, on Highway 1 near Popkum Road.

Officers clocked the vehicles at just over 200 km/hr in the 100 km/hr zone.

That same day, highway patrol officers removed another couple of high-risk drivers off the road.

Officers served an impaired driver with a three-day immediate driving prohibition and impounded their vehicle for three days. The other driver was caught driving while prohibited.

Officers served the driver with a court date and impounded their vehicle for seven days. The officers served over 90 violation tickets for a variety of traffic offences throughout the day.

B次元官网网址淥ur BC South Coast Highway Patrol officers worked hard to keep drivers safe this past weekend and they may have prevented some traffic fatalities by taking these four high-risk drivers off the road,B次元官网网址 Jongema said.
