A Saanich police officer on a motorcycle caught two vehicles at once after they were reportedly going 50 km/h over posted speed limit.
According to a post made by the Saanich Police Traffic Safety Unit’s social media account, an officer on a motorcycle caught two drivers going 110 km/h in a 60 km/h zone in a “rural area” of Saanich at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Police did not disclose the exact location where the motorists were caught or when it happened but said it appeared the motorists were racing each other while “speeding excessively.”
Saanich PD said because both motorists were Class 7 N drivers, their vehicles were impounded in addition to receiving violation tickets.
