Richmond RCMP nets five speeders over the weekend

With fewer cars on the road because of COVID-19, drivers may be inclined to drive a bit faster than usual. The Richmond RCMP caught five speeders during a traffic operation with one car going as fast as 123km/h in a 50km/h zone on Saturday.

With fewer cars on the road because of COVID-19, drivers may be inclined to drive a bit faster than usual.

The Richmond RCMP caught five speeders during a traffic operation with one car going as fast as 123km/h in a 50km/h zone on Saturday.

“Excessive speed (equals) automatic impound,” said Richmond RCMP in a Twitter post.

They are reminding residents to “slow down” or it could be their car being towed.
