The sound of a revving engine alerted an Oak Bay police officer who was doing traffic enforcement to a fast-approaching vehicle.
The officer was on Cedar Hill Cross Road May 4 when the vehicle sped by at 117 kilometres per hour in a 50 km/h zone.
The driver was stopped and found to be unlicensed. The driver was hit with a seven-month driving prohibition, a $483 fine for excessive speed, a $276 ticket for not having a licence and a seven-day vehicle impoundment.
Two days later, an uninsured driver stopped on Foul Bay Road received a $698 ticket for not having insurance and a $276 ticket for not having a licence. The vehicle was impounded for seven days and the driver was issued a notice of a driving prohibition.
