Three young drivers have been charged for allegedly burning down a busy B.C. highway at speeds of up to 160 killometres per hour. The kicker: two of them aren’t even licensed.

Mounties pulled the men over Sunday evening after receiving reports about reckless driving along Highway 1 between Abbotsford and Langley.

Witnesses said they saw vehicles weaving in and out of traffic and even using the shoulder to pass other cars.

“Everybody knows that there’s all kinds of loose gravel and stuff on the shoulder. An inexperienced driver could have easily lost control of his vehicle at that speed and caused a much bigger accident,” Cpl. Robert McDonald said.

“These people that called the police potentially saved a life that night.”

Officers stopped three vehicles, a black 2013 Porsche Panamera, a white 2012 BMW 750, and a white 2013 BMW M5, near the 176th Street on-ramp.

The lone driver who was licensed was only carrying a learner’s permit, Mounties say.

The cars were impounded and the drivers have been charged with speeding and driving without consideration. Police are still investigating whether they might have been street-racing.

Ironically, the drivers, including the two without licences, have been hit with 15-day driving prohibitions.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Port Mann Traffic Services at 604-526-9744 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
