Speeding 141 in an 80 - car impounded and he complains.
'Don't put my family on the side of the road': Mounties impound more than 100 vehicles this year for speeding on Highway 3
Andrew Scott is still flabbergasted at what he considers overkill penalties for excessive speeding that left him and his family stranded on the side of a highway without their SUV in the middle of their vacation.
The Delta man, his wife Deanna, and two children, age four and 10, were on their way from Penticton to Chilliwack on Aug. 3 when they were pulled over by cops at a speed trap on Highway 3 east of Hope, near Manning Provincial Park. Scott was caught doing 141 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.
Scott was handed a $360 ticket and police had the family vehicle impounded for a week.
“I was speeding — I absolutely own that,” said Scott. “Fine, ticket me. But don’t put my family on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception while on vacation.”
