Police impounded a costly set of wheels on British Columbia’s Sea to Sky Highway, near Squamish, over the weekend.

RCMP say a novice driver in his early 20s in a 2018 McLaren 720S was clocked doing 151 km/h in an 80-km/h zone near Porteau Cove on Saturday.

Police say they also found evidence the car had been seized before for the same offence.

RCMP Cpl. Mike Halskov says the fine is almost $1,000, which includes an excessive speed ticket for $483 and a driving-while-distracted ticket for $368, as well as six demerit points.

Police say the vehicle is valued at approximately $462,000 and costs about $15,000 a year to insure. The driver, whose green ‘N’ sticker was displayed in the car’s window, could be stuck with more fines and a steeper insurance rate by the ICBC, the provincial insurance regulator.

It was one of five vehicles impounded by RCMP Traffic Services out of Squamish on the weekend, which included a motorcycle that was going 135 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.
