According to the Surrey RCMP tweet, the vehicle was impounded for excessive speed.
Earlier this month, the BC Government announced speed cameras will be implemented at 35 intersections across the Lower Mainland.
The province will be installing new warning signs and activate technology to ticket the registered owners of vehicles entering these intersections well over the posted limit on a red, yellow or green light.
