Distracted Driving Month continues. We joined BC Highway Patrol in Surrey today. A driver was observed text messaging on one phone and then answer a call on another one. #ItCanWaitBC #leaveyourphonealone
It might be Spring break , but there is no break for Distracted Driving Month. Officers are using various techniques to see you using your electronic device. Cherry pickers, lookouts, riding the bus, and walking traffic are just some. #leaveyourphonealone #ItCanWaitBC
Teamed up with Transit Police-Targeted Mobile Enforcement Team for driving enforcement today. Research shows a 3.6x higher crash risk when drivers are using hand-held devices. This dangerous behavior is especially risky in rainy conditions near pedestrian-heavy transit hubs. #EyesFwdBC #LeaveYourPhoneAlone
One of our members just stopped this driver in the 2600 blk of Clark Drive for using his cell phone while driving. Please #LeaveYourPhoneAlone while driving. March is #DistractedDrivingMonth #EyesFwdBC
