LANGLEY — Two motorcyclists in Langley who thought driving at double the speed limit was a brilliant idea Tuesday night are paying the price for their mindless behaviour.
According to a statement from Langley RCMP Sgt. Zynal Sharoom, Mounties in Langley stopped and impounded two motorcycles in separate incidents of excessive speeding.
The first incident occurred at approximately 6:15 p.m. Tuesday night when an officer tasked with conducting proactive speed enforcement near 216 Street and 58 Avenue observed a white street bike traveling northbound at a radar-confirmed speed of 124 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. The motorcycle’s rear licence plate had been bent upward and was illegible until the officer physically adjusted it. The rider was issued violation tickets for excessive speed and an illegible licence plate. The motorcycle was impounded for seven days under the Motor Vehicle Act.
At approximately 7:54 p.m., the same officer observed a black street bike traveling northbound on 200 Street near 88 Avenue at an estimated speed of 130 km/h, weaving unsafely between vehicles. Radar confirmed a speed of 143 km/h. The rider was issued violation tickets for excessive speed and unsafe lane changes. The motorcycle was also impounded for seven days.
