LUCERNE VALLEY, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A California Highway Patrol officer impounded a motorcycle after the unlicensed rider was caught going over 110 miles per hour and driving recklessly on Highway 18.
The CHP Victorville Office said it happened while patrolling between the town of Apple Valley and Lucerne Valley on State Route Hwy 18.
“One of our officers observed a motorcyclist driving in excess of 110 miles per hour and passing multiple vehicles over double yellow lines. The motorcyclist was stopped and found to be unlicensed. Given the above circumstances, the motorcycle was impounded,” stated on the CHP Facebook post.
CHP reminds everyone that double yellow lines mean no passing. Also, on a two-lane roadway, the max speed limit is 55 miles per hour unless otherwise stated. The above traffic laws are for your safety as well as others.
In California, seized vehicles may be impounded for up to 30 days despite the court ruling and the agency’s policy. The registered owner is responsible for all towing and storage fees before the vehicle is released. Additionally, driving without a license is an alternative felony/misdemeanor offense that can be charged as either a misdemeanor or an infraction. If charged as a misdemeanor, the maximum penalty is six months in jail and a $1,000 court fine. If charged as an infraction, the maximum penalty is a $250 court fine plus the ticket fee.
The Pain In The Pass says just slowing down, and driving the speed limit equals saved lives. Give yourself time, and prepare ahead. Arrive early. Too many speed demons and tailgaters up here in the high desert.
