For those who don't know, the Vancouver Police Department headquarters are located at the southern edge of the Cambie Bridge at the intersection with West 5th Avenue.
That might have been useful information for a driver last week who was busted for speeding.
"Can we please not endanger ourselves and others by speeding past the VPD building at 99 in a 50 zone while weaving unsafely between other vehicles?" reads part of a post from the police department.
In the post police share images of a black BMW convertible being towed from the middle of the bridge, where police caught up to them.
The violation ticket is also shared, showing the car was caught travelling more than 40 km/h over the legal speed limit on Aug. 30 at 8:20 a.m.
The reason for the speeding?
"'I'm late for a meeting downtown' is simply unacceptable," reads the post.
The car is now impounded for seven days and a $368 ticket was written.
Ok, it's a bright sunny day, but can we please not endanger ourselves and others by speeding past @VancouverPD building at 99 in a 50 zone while weaving unsafely between other vehicles? "I'm late for a meeting downtown" is simply unacceptable. #DriveSafe pic.twitter.com/HZkjqWWeb5
