This incident is the latest in what has been a seemingly speedy summer for careless drivers on the North Shore.
Earlier this summer, a Ferrari was impounded and the driver charged after he was caught for excessive speeding on the Lions Gate Bridge.
Then, the driver of a Smart Car was caught for excessive speeding on the bridge as well, a few days later.
