KELOWNA – If your vehicle was seen speeding by RCMP volunteers in Kelowna yesterday morning, you won’t get a ticket, but the police may be sending you a letter.

RCMP Speed Watch volunteers staked out four spots in Kelowna yesterday morning, June 7, and monitored the speeds of nearly 3,000 vehicles with radar, according to an RCMP media release.

The volunteers from Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country were set up on Clifton Road, DeHart Road, Upper Canyon Drive and Gordon Drive.

During the two-hours, volunteers observed over 950 vehicles going over the posted speed limit, and of those, 46 were going at least 21 km/h over the limit, police say, and the licence plates of nearly two dozen vehicles were “captured.”

“The detailed information gathered by our volunteers will be passed along to the Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section who will send a letter to the offending vehicles registered owner,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says in the release.

O’Donaghey says the letters are meant as a warning to the vehicle owners.
