Officers first tried to pull over a BMW on Highway 1 after the driver was clocked at 181 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, but the driver fled.

Officers later spotted the same BMW travelling at excessive speeds in the opposite direction on the same highway. During the second encounter, police safely intercepted the vehicle. The driver, who holds a novice licence, was issued fines totalling nearly $1,000 and had their vehicle impounded, according to the social media post.
