Car2Go impounded for excessive speeding on icy road in West Vancouver
A Car2Go driver will have to start looking at other options for getting around, after they were caught doing 60 km/h over the speed limit in West Vancouver.
According to police, what made the whole situation worse was the fact that the driver was speeding on what police described as an “icy road” in freezing temperatures.
Bluntly describing the situation on Twitter, police called the whole incident a “recipe for disaster” and reminded drivers to slow down and drive according to the weather.
