VIDEO: Teen driver nabbed in Surrey going 85 km\/h over speed limit in dad\u2019s Cadillac<\/p>\n
Published 10:34 am Tuesday, October 20, 2026<\/p>\n
An 18-year-old driver was caught by the RCMP Air 1 helicopter in Surrey travelling at a speed of 175 km\/h in a 90 km\/h zone on Oct. 13 and had his dad\u2019s 2026 Cadillac impounded.<\/p>\n
BC Highway Patrol issued a press release on Tuesday (Oct. 20) as well as video of the incident.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Michael McLaughlin said the driver, who was from Abbotsford, was spotted by Air 1 at 10 a.m. on Oct. 13 on Highway 1 eastbound near the Brunette overpass in Coquitlam.<\/p>\n
After clocking the driver\u2019s speed, Air 1 contacted BC Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
Police pulled over the driver just west of 200th Street in Surrey. McLaughlin said the driver had been busted for excessive speeding in the same car just one month earlier.<\/p>\n
The novice driver was issued:<\/p>\n
\u2022 a ticket for excessive speeding with a fine of $368;<\/p>\n
\u2022 the cost of a tow and a seven-day impound \u2013 which ICBC could choose to increase to 30 days because of his second offence \u2013 at the expense of his dad, the registered owner;<\/p>\n
\u2022 increased high-risk driver premiums for at least three years that push the total cost to $2,500; and<\/p>\n
\u2022 a review of his licence status as a result of accumulated penalty points, which could result in a suspension.<\/p>\n
McLaughlin said police are releasing the video as a public-service message to other drivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeaving through traffic while more than 80 over the limit is unacceptably dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want every driver to see this video and understand that we\u2019re using every tool at our disposal, including helicopters a thousand metres above your head, to keep our roads safer.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VIDEO: Teen driver nabbed in Surrey going 85 km\/h over speed limit in dad\u2019s Cadillac Published 10:34 am…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":940431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-940430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/940431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
