Abbotsford driver fined after driving more than double speed limit in parents’ car

ABBOTSFORD — A young Abbotsford woman has received a ticket after speeding past a police car early this week.

On Monday evening, July 13, an unmarked AbbyPD traffic enforcement vehicle clocked the driver going 116 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone on Sumas Way.

Officers stopped her when she pulled into a grocery store parking lot to hand her a $483 fine and seized the vehicle – which was her parents’.

“Slowing down helps keep everyone safe on our roads,” said the Abbotsford Police Department.

Police have impounded more than 240 vehicles for excessive speed so far this year.
