A pair of teens will have some explaining to do after both had their cars impounded for speeding.
In one case, a 17-year-old driver, pulled over for exceeding the speed limit by more than double, was discovered to be carrying a counterfeit driver’s license.
On April 3rd, police were conducting speed checks on Beach Drive near Newport Avenue which has a 40 kilometre per hour speed limit.
Police spotted the first vehicle exceeding the speed limit, and upon using a radar speed device, it was determined that the vehicle was traveling at 89 km/h.
The teen, a 17-year-old boy, was pulled over and ticketed for speeding. The vehicle, which belonged to his parents, was towed and impounded for seven days.
Police stated that his parents attended the scene and retrieved their son.
Shortly after, another a 17-year-old driver was nabbed for also driving 83km/h in the 40km/h zone.
Police pulled the driver over, and during the interaction, the officer noticed a second driver’s license in the teen’s possession. Consequently, the officer requested to inspect it.
The teen then produced an Alberta license with a different date of birth but his likeness. He then admitted to the officer that it was a fake ID that he had used to gain entry to a bar.
