Comox Valley RCMP are coming off a busy month of speeding drivers, prompting police to issue an important reminder to those behind the wheel: ease off the gas pedal.
“Slow down,” said RCMP in a Friday Facebook post that highlighted several speeding driver reports in October, including one that saw a driver caught travelling more than double the speed limit in a 60-kilometre-per-hour zone.
On Oct. 9 at 1:15 p.m., a police officer on Veterans Memorial Parkway spotted two drivers street racing and, picking the fastest of the pair, pulled over the driver of a Jeep Wrangler travelling 124 km/hr in a 60 km/hr zone, RCMP say. It was a similar outcome for the driver of a Mazda 3 after an officer caught them on Oct. 11 travelling 183 km/hr on the Inland Island Highway near Piercy Road, which is a 110 km/hr zone, RCMP explain. The driver’s vehicle was impounded for seven days and they were also issued a ticket for excessive speed.
Come Oct. 20, an officer on Guthrie Road observed the driver of a Mazda 3 travelling 118 km/hr in a 50 km/hr zone, leading to a seven-day vehicle impoundment and violation ticket for excessive speed.
