A driver of a high-end Porsche had their car impounded and must pay a nearly $500 fine after police caught them speeding.
On Twitter/X the Vancouver Police Department's traffic section posted about an incident on May 2, 2025.
Around 10:50 a.m. police recorded a Porsche 911 Turbo S travelling at 122 km/h along Southeast Marine Drive. At the time, the car was in a 50 km/h zone.
"Fined and impounded," reads the post. "Driver said it's a $450,000 car..."
Police also posted some of the ticket, which shows the driver received a $483 fine for "excessive speed."
Remember when we said that our focus in May is High-Risk Driving? Well, 122 km/h in 2500 SE Marine fits that category...especially when it's a 50 km/h zone! Fined & Impounded. Driver said it's a $450K car... #NoNeedForSpeed #GiveItABrake #WeAreOutThere pic.twitter.com/tgnJkusS0n

Only a few days earlier, the VPD stopped another Porsche and posted about it.
On April 27, 2025, a Porsche Panamera was pulled over in downtown Vancouver for a variety of issues. In a post, police noted there was no front licence plate, tinted windows, no insurance, and more.
In the end, the driver received more than $900 in fines.
Georgia & Denman, no front plate and tinted windows. Once stopped, discovered no insurance and no BCDL. Over $900 in fines and vehicle towed. We've had 4 pedestrian fatalities this year. Clear vision is a key factor. #DriveSafe pic.twitter.com/XU2TyM7Cnz
