A driver faces vehicle impound and fines after Central Saanich police stopped them going 161 km/hr in a posted 90 zone Monday (Aug. 12) morning.
“Almost 70 km over the limit is unacceptable. A ticket for excessive speed was issued, and the vehicle was impounded,” the police service said on social media.
