On February 12, 2026, just after 11 a.m., two vehicles were captured on dashcam footage weaving in and out of traffic in the 4100 block of Quadra Street.
The person who recorded the footage contacted Saanich Police and provided the video to a member of the Traffic Safety Unit (TSU) for investigation.
After reviewing the footage, the TSU officer determined the two vehicles were street racing and that their actions endangered other road users. Because the licence plates were clearly visible, the officer was able to identify the registered owners of both vehicles.
When spoken to by police, neither vehicle owner identified who was driving at the time of the incident. As a result, both vehicles were impounded for seven days for street racing, and each owner received tickets for driving without due care and attention and for failing to provide driver information.
This incident demonstrates how dash camera footage can assist police in investigating and deterring dangerous driving. If your camera captures unsafe driving behaviour, please report it to police. Your information can help hold those who put others at risk accountable and contribute to safer roads in Saanich.
