DELTA — A Lamborghini driver from Surrey, B.C., will be without his car for a week and thousands of dollars after police say they caught him driving nearly 200 km/h.

B.C. Highway Patrol says the 51-year-old man was spotted driving Wednesday over the Alex Fraser Bridge in Delta.

A statement from police says a laser reader clocked the Lamborghini SUV doing 197 km/h in a 70 zone.

Police say the man told them he was showing his out-of-country cousins the sights of Metro Vancouver.

Between tickets for speeding and illegal window tinting, the cost of a seven-day impound, and increases to his premiums, police estimate the driver will be out more than $2,500.

Corp. Michael McLaughlin says in the statement that there is a “foolish and dangerous assumption” that bridges are free from speed enforcement.

“Bridges are no strangers to deadly collisions. Driving over double the speed limit is extremely dangerous to you, your passengers, and everyone around you,” he said.
