Earlier this month, Ridge Meadows RCMP nabbed two other drivers for excessive speed.
On April 2, the RCMP road safety target team was patrolling on Golden Ears Way when a southbound, Kia Rio was clocked travelling at 119 km/h in a posted 70 km/hr zone. A few hours later on the same day, the team caught the driver of a Dodge Durango rental vehicle travelling east at a rate of 129 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone in the 25500-block of Lougheed Highway.
The first driver was given a four-month driving prohibition, his vehicle was impounded, and the driver was arrested on an outstanding warrant. The second motorist, a new driver, received a violation notice of excessive speed and that vehicle was also impounded.
At that time, Ridge Meadows Insp. Aaron Paradis acknowledged there is less traffic on the local roads 91裸聊视频� with people respecting the 91裸聊视频榮tay at home91裸聊视频� practice. But that doesn91裸聊视频檛 mean safety measures on the road are any less important, he said.
