On Aug. 27, 2025, Richmond RCMP responded to a report of a motorcycle doing “wheelies” on Highway 99 northbound approaching the tunnel. This motorcycle was subsequently stopped, and the driver was charged with multiple Motor Vehicle Act infractions including drive without due care, noise, and vehicle defects. This motorcycle was also impounded for 7 days due to stunting and was issued a Box 1 Notice and Order.
Under the Motor Vehicle Act in BC, “stunting” refers to operating a vehicle in a way that shows a lack of reasonable care for other road users, including actions like lifting tires off the road, loss of traction, spinning, dangerous lane use, and aggressive speeding.
“We want to thank the public for calling this in,” says Corporal Niels Hermes, Road Safety Unit of the Richmond RCMP. “This type of driving behaviour creates a great danger on the roadway. Working together, we can make the roadways in Richmond safer for all road users.”
Targeted enforcement against excessive speed and other high-risk driving behaviours in Richmond is ongoing. Drivers are reminded: slow down, drive responsibly, and help us keep our roads safe.
