A new driver of a 2022 Toyota Supra sports car has been temporarily separated from his ride after being clocked at 220 kilometres per hour on West Vancouver’s Cypress Bowl Road, Sunday night.

West Vancouver police were doing speed enforcement on the road around 11 p.m., just past the first hairpin turn, when the Supra driver blew past the radar, going close to three times the posted speed limit.

Officers caught up with the speeder when he turned in at the main Cypress lookout where they handed him a $483 ticket for excessive speeding and impounded his vehicle for seven days.

According to Sgt. Mark McLean, it isn’t the first time the 20-year-old Vancouver driver has driven into trouble for speeding. Police were also directed by ICBC to serve the driver with a four-month driving ban for an earlier excessive speeding infraction.

“There’s a high likelihood there’s going to be a further prohibition coming from ICBC,” McLean added.

McLean noted the new driver was also not displaying a N on his vehicle, as required.
