LANTZVILLE, B.C. — Mounties on Vancouver Island say a man who described himself as a YouTube influencer had his vehicle impounded and was fined $368 for speeding.
Police say an unmarked BC Highway Patrol officer was working Sunday in Lantzville when he heard an “excessively loud” vehicle accelerate from a stoplight on Highway 19.
They say the driver of the “highly modified” yellow Nissan GT-R was clocked going 150 km/h in a 90 km/h zone.
Cpl. Michael McLaughlin says the driver, who identified himself as influencer during the traffic stop, never saw the unmarked police car and added that his radar detector didn’t tip him off either.
