Only one driver had a valid BC class 5 driver’s licence. The other two drivers had Chinese national driver licences valid in BC only while they attended school.
You know that Global was just salivating being able to add that knowing the animosity it will drum up. Like seriously... a "race" at 130km/h on the highway with a 328i and a Land Rover... wtf.

from the article "The truck was doing 135 km/h in a 90-km/h zone on the Trans-Canada Highway, Cpl. Fred Harding said in a release Tuesday."

Hahaha that highlights just how rediculous the impound law is. Way to go BC government, you took away someone's mail for the week.

the mail was actually transferred to another truck and was delivered on time.

I saw the cars being towed... i may have been driving 130.. the thing is i dont understand how they got impounded, speed limit there is 100km/h, i thought you have to be 40 over to get impounded.

T4RAWR 09-24-2012 10:56 PM

that's just pathetic.

i take that stretch of highway all the time and the average speed of vehicles is 120-130km/h.

1exotic 09-24-2012 10:59 PM

If it was actually a race it would've been 200km +
130km is cruising speed while eating and talking on the phone.

It's funny how few people actually read the article, they weren't impounded for excessive speeding...

Quote:

Witnesses said the cars were passing vehicles on the shoulder of the roadway and following behind each other as they weaved in and out of traffic.

The officers saw the cars as they passed through the Chilliwack area.

Three of the four vehicles were seen attempting to block the traffic from passing, by driving slowly in the travel portion of the highway.

Police say racing drivers will work together to prevent other traffic from passing to allow the racing vehicles a clear area to gain high rates of speed.

I drive through that area often as well. Most cars are usually going 100km/h with a few at 110-115km/h in my experience. It's a pretty rough road with a lot of exits and curves in good weather, and prone to severe foul weather making even 100km/h very hazardous through winter.

nabs 09-24-2012 11:17 PM

i did read the article. but i guess i just thought you only get your vehicle impounded if you excess speed.

StylinRed 09-25-2012 12:24 AM

Vale46Rossi 09-25-2012 12:32 AM

Considering how fast the S5 can be... 130 ain't racing....
