www.citynews1130.com: Driver caught going over twice the speed limit in Richmond - NEWS 1130

I'd agree that 134km/h is definitely out of line but a PSL of 50km/hr is absurdly low.

I wonder what kind of highway that is to have a 30mph limit.

 

[erickonphoenix]

83 mph? I do that backing out to the mailbox

Not a highway, more of just a main road. 2 lanes going each way.

Ya the Steveston Highway reference is very misleading its not a highway, homes, farms and businesses front on this road...

Do we know where exactly it happened?

When going on Steveston hwy eastbound just look for the spray painted RADAR AHEAD on a sign planted in a farm. IIRC it's just east of No. 3 Rd. The Leos use farmers driveways to hide the cruisers.

My first ever speeding ticket was a LIDAR hit by Richmond RCMP. I was, IIRC 17 at the time, with a N license. I was doing 160 in a 60 on whatever street it is that goes from YVR (airport) into Richmond. You may recall a Chevron gas station there.

I don't think I ever shat my pants that badly. Those cops were...nice, but firm, and I made a promise to myself to never speed again.

I broke that the very next day

Yup. Many many moons ago. Before that Richmond rcmp cop got killed by street racing....

Nice picture of the dragon. That would have been an epic save had he had ALP’s.

Going down a memory lane that is from a really long time ago, but I believe it was Steveston road or Steveston highway or whatever? I used to have a BLAST by there.

That or drag races on the street to UBC from, I believe SW marine drive, was it? (I may be messing up a bunch of roads, but yeah.....my brain is somewhere there).

Racing all the way down Granville street was fun too, but then going on the Sea to Sky and maxing out my dad's BMW X5 4.4L (2003) with the sports package that had the limiter removed, that was categorically the stupidest thing I have ever done in a car, but I'm alive to tell it and while my dad's car was a piece of shi* that was at the dealer every week, when the damn thing worked, holy crap, did I ever respect BMW for their amazing engineering.

Pretty good memory man, those were good spots back in the day...gotta be careful here now...
