Police nab Ferrari going 100 km/h over speed limit near Squamish

Police have impounded a Ferrari after nabbing the driver going 100 km/h over the speed limit near Squamish.

Squamish RCMP posted a photo of the offending blue Ferrari to their Twitter on Sept. 6.

Well Mr. Ferrari didn’t know we were doing traffic enforcement all weekend with our traffic and seasonal teams! Going 189km/hr in Porteau Cove in an 80 km zone on the @SeatoSkyHighway is never a good idea, so much so we decided to keep the car for the next 7 days! #slowdown pic.twitter.com/pAOECbiZ66
