The witness was passed by a motorcycle that was weaving in traffic and travelling at excessive speed. The motorcycle, the motorcycle rider, and the licence plate were clearly visible on the witnesses\u2019 high-definition dash camera. Four days after the incident, BC Highway Patrol tracked down the motorcycle\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the video quality is high-quality, and we have a witness ready to testify in court, we can and do follow up with over-the-top driving violations,\u201d says Cpl.
