Police boosting efforts to catch distracted drivers in B.C.
BC Highway PatrolAsk yourself if it is worth your life or someone else’s to answer a call, check your email or send that text while you are driving. Please make the right choice when you drive – ignore your phone and drive responsibly – your life may depend on it – and others may depend on you to get to your destination safely.Police are asking everyone to put away the phone and anything else that may be distracting them from the road.
While police say BC drivers are generally remembering to buckle up, an average of 51 people are killed in the province each year in collisions where seat belts where not being worn, so they’ll be looking for drivers who are forgetting to wear a seatbelt. Forgetting to buckle up could land you a $167 ticket.
