It was a very expensive lesson on the roads for a 25-year-old Qualicum Beach man last week.
He lost his Porsche for seven days after a BC Highway Patrol stop on the Island Highway in Nanoose Bay.
On September 3, police spotted a black Porsche speeding away from two motorcycles that were already well over the 90 km/h limit. The Porsche was clocked at 144 km/h.
Corporal Michael McLaughlin says had the driver shown a little restraint, it might have been the motorcycles that were ticketed and impounded.
Police say the fines, tow and impound fees, and high-risk driver premiums for at least the next three years will add up to $2,500 or more.
According to the R.C.M.P., speeding is consistently one of the top three causes of fatal collisions in the province and BC Highway Patrol says it’s one of their top enforcement priorities.
