A driver in Abbotsford lost his licence and had his vehicle impounded on Thursday after he was clocked going 136 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
The incident took place in the area of Marshall and Townline roads.
Abbotsford Police Const. Paul Walker posted about the incident on Twitter, saying the 19-year-old driver – who only had his “N” (novice) licence – lost his licence, received a $368 ticket and had his dad’s vehicle impounded.
The Abbotsford Police Department stated on its Facebook page there was a notation on the man’s licence that he had previously been given a five-month driving prohibition from the superintendent of the Motor Vehicle Branch.
The superintendent has the authority to ban a person from driving based on their driving record or if their driving poses a risk to public safety.
