- Canadian Porsche Cayman GT4 driver caught going 88 km/h over limit.
- Police fined her CA$483 and impounded the car for seven days flat.
- Sea to Sky Highway in British Columbia is now a speeding hotspot.
We all love a good birthday celebration, though not many choose to mark the occasion with a high-speed run in a bright yellow Porsche. One driver in Canada did just that, and instead of cake or candles, she got her car impounded after being caught going more than twice the speed limit.
The incident happened on December 30, 2025, along British Columbia’s stunning Sea to Sky Highway, which winds from Vancouver up into the mountains. Using their trusty radar gun, an officer from the British Columbia Royal Canadian Mounted Police nabbed the Porsche Cayman GT4 traveling 168 km/h (104 mph) in an 80 km/h (50 mph) zone.

Police say the woman behind the wheel asked the officer to be “considerate” since it was her birthday. That appeal didn’t go very far. Instead, she received a CA$483 ($350) fine for excessive speed and saw her Porsche hauled away for a mandatory seven-day impound.
The longer-term cost might sting more, though. She’ll now face a minimum of three years paying high-risk insurance premiums, adding up to roughly CA$2,500 ($1,800).
“It’s our job to keep the roads safe,” Corporal McLaughlin said. “If you drive inconsiderately, you will face the consequences no matter the occasion.”
Canadians In A Rush
As it turns out, the Porsche wasn’t the only car to get pulled over on that same stretch of road that day. Earlier that morning, a rented Volkswagen and a Subaru were also stopped for excessive speeding. Officers recorded them at 154 km/h (96 mph) and 149 km/h (93 mph), respectively.
According to the driver of the Subaru, the VW had been tailgating him, while the VW driver explained he “wanted to get ahead” before the end of the two merge lanes.
“Merge lanes are not the time to get competitive,” McLaughlin added. “At best, your dangerous driving will gain you a few seconds. At worst, you’ll crash horribly or lose hours of your time getting your vehicle impounded by police. If you want to save time, leave earlier and drive the speed limit.”
According to CTV News, the Sea to Sky Highway has become a hotspot for speeders. On Christmas day, 14 vehicles were impounded after each being clocked exceeding the speed limit by at least 40 km/h (25 mph).
