Police believe the registered owner is the mother of the 25-year-old rider. Under the Motor Vehicle Act, police are able to serve tickets to the registered owner even if she was not driving the bike.
On Wednesday, the mother was issued tickets totalling $1,449. The breakdown was a $368 ticket for driving without due care and attention, a $483 ticket for excessive speed and a $598 ticket for no insurance.
"The Motor Vehicle Act has sections in it that require the owner to be responsible for the conduct of the vehicle and to be responsible for the person who operates the vehicle," Jantzen said. . . . Police are trying to seize the motorcycle permanently under B.C.'s Civil Forfeiture Act, which allows the province to take assets that they can prove were used in the commission of an offence.
Yikes- $1450 in fines, plus six grand for the bike- and she allegedly wasn't even the offender! If they are going to seize the vehicle, the least they can do is cover the fine with the proceeds from when they sell it...
