Ottawa police say a local driver got their mother’s car impounded after allegedly driving more than 60 km/h over the speed limit in their mom’s vehicle in south Ottawa on Thursday afternoon.

In a statement on social media, police said a 26-year-old man was stopped by officers for driving 132 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Bank Street near Conroy Road.

If it's not his car, why are we impounding it at all though? That's my question.

    We don't want people to enable him by letting him use their cars.

    Maybe we could put his name in a registry, so people will know not to lend him their car(s).

    So guy breaks the law and innocent person loses their car because guy who hadn't broken the law previously broke the law? Fair.

    Maybe we could put his name in a registry, so people will know not to lend him their car(s).

    Or maybe we could put him in jail, where he should be.
