Drivers caught speeding excessively in British Columbia will soon risk having their cars impounded for the offence. Starting Sept. 20, drivers caught going more than 40 km/h over the posted speed limit will have their vehicle impounded for seven days, the provincial government announced Thursday.
"Excessive speed is often a death sentence," said B.C. Solicitor General Mike de Jong. "We want to save lives by going after the kind of driver who drives significantly and dangerously over the posted speed limit, and then get them off the road." A driver caught committing the same speeding offence a second time will lose the vehicle for 30 days. The penalty will be 60 days for drivers who are caught for a third time or more within a two-year period.
