A driver of a modified Nissan GT-R was caught speeding at 150 kilometers per hour in a 90km/h zone on the Island Highway near Nanaimo. He was ticketed $368 and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.
A driver was ticketed for traveling at 150 kilometers per hour on the Island Highway north of Nanaimo this week. The driver of a 'highly modified' Nissan GT-R received a $368 excessive speeding ticket and his vehicle was impounded for seven days after he was caught speeding near Ware Road in Lantzville on Sunday, February 2.
Highway patrol stated that an officer in an unmarked vehicle heard 'an excessively loud vehicle' accelerating from a stop light, which alerted him to use his laser reader to capture the car allegedly going 150km/h in a 90km/h zone. 'The Nissan GT-R driver, who identified himself as a YouTube influencer, never saw the unmarked police car, and he was surprised that his radar detector stayed silent,' said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with B.C. Highway Patrol. 'The driver did not realize that in the hands of a skilled police officer, a laser reader will not be picked up by a detector until it’s too late.'
