Well I am guilty of driving faster than the law allows in my Fiero.  I don't deny the fact that I get carried way in my little 2 seater. Well it looks like I had better be watching to the sky as well as ahead of me from now on if I choose to drive faster than I should on the highway.  3 people from 19-22 were busted going through Coquitlam and across the Port Mann bridge at what is classed as excessive speeds.  How did they get caught.  The new RCMP Helipolice officer spotted them.   (just a side note, doesn't that expensive Helopolice officerter officer have something better to do than chase people driving too fast)

LANGLEY (NEWS1130) - Another example of how the Lower Mainland Police Traffic Helipolice officerter is making our roads safer. Police say the crew of "Air 1" was able to videotape 3 cars speeding westbound along Highway One in Coquitlam. The pilot notified officers of the Port Mann Traffic Services, after determining the cars were racing.

All three drivers, between the ages of 19 and 22, have been charged with excessive speeding and could lose their licenses. The RCMP is planning on posting the video on their "Air 1" website.

Well if people diddnt feel the need to drive like morons and risk other peoples lives at the expense of some fun, then maybe the police officer would have time to do these "better things"

speed limits are there for a reason.

im not saying im perfect, but you wont catch me rat racing on the freeway.

Agreed, there are far too many morons who think they are race car drivers. If they get a few more of them off the road, then great.

Not to say I'm a perfect stay the speed limit kind of guy, but I rarely exceed 120 on the highway so I suppose that's not bad.

A true definition to eye in the sky! Good to see that they are putting the helipolice officerters to good use.

I really need to remove that word changing filter.  It was put in place so that people can't use derogatory words.
