The Prince George RCMP’s Distracted Driving Awareness campaign continued last week with a static checkpoint the intersection of McGill Crescent and Domano Boulevard.
On March 4, members from the Prince George Traffic Services Unit, the Citizens on Patrol volunteers and the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement team conducted “Cell Watch” at the College Heights intersection for four hours.
During the stint, the Traffic Services Unit handed out 11 electronic device violation tickets and one ticket for failing to display an N.
Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement issued nine distracted driving violation tickets, three defective vehicle violation tickets, one speeding ticket, one notice and order to immediately remove the vehicle from the road until repairs are made and it passes an inspection, and one notice and order to have the noted vehicle defects corrected
They set up a checkpoint at McGill Crescent and Domano Boulevard and over four hours issued 11 tickets for using an electronic device and nine for distracted driving. The Citizens on Patrol volunteers also conducted several cell watch events throughout the week. They observed 3,263 vehicles and noted that more than 50 motorists were using an electronic device while driving. Others infractions they observed included not wearing a seatbelt and drivers’ controls obstructed by pets. Drivers caught committing the violations can expect to receive a warning letter in the mail explaining which offence volunteers saw and what the penalty could have been. We call this educational enforcement,” said Citizens on Patrol coordinator Mike Burt.
A construction worker was airlifted to hospital Wednesday morning after being struck by a tire that came off a passing vehicle on the highway near Chemainus. The incident happened around 9:45 a.m. on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Chemainus River bridge, said Cpl. Chris Manseau. article continues below
