Rookie mistake

Langley RCMP roast 20-year-old driver with ‘L’ license caught doubling the speed limit

LANGLEY — A 20-year-old Fraser Valley motorist with a learner’s permit will have to find an alternate ride after blazing at more than double the posted speed limit this past week, with three friends along for the ride.

Mounties in Langley posted to social media this past week that the motorist tried to re-enact a scene from Fast & Furious, calling the motorist’s actions “Fast & the Foolish.”

“That’s not learning, that’s launch mode,” Langley RCMP wrote on social media, noting the speed limit is 50 km/h. The motorist was clocked going more than 100 km/h.

The Dodge Challenger SRT-looking vehicle was towed and the motorist was given a visible reminder of their carelessness.

“Vehicle: Impounded Tickets: Plural. Like, stackable. Lesson: Hopefully learned… eventually.”
