Kelowna RCMP are reminding motorists that they are on the hunt for dangerous drivers now that spring driving conditions have arrived.
On Friday, officers tweeted a photo of a recent ticket handed out to an uninsured and unlicensed motorcyclist who was clocked going 207 km/h along Highway 97C between West Kelowna and Merritt.
The motorcyclist was issued a hefty $1,357 fine and police have impounded the vehicle for seven days.
