SALMON ARM - Two drivers learned the hard way RCMP in B.C. can take away your ride for going way too fast.

Officers pulled over two vehicles in separate incidents Sunday night, Oct. 25, for excessive speed, Salmon Arm RCMP say in a release.

One driver was from out of town and the other was a local resident.

Police say the vehicles have been impounded for seven days and the drivers are facing fines ranging from $368 to $483.

RCMP aren’t saying how fast the drivers were traveling when they were caught.
