Advocates demanding better protection along Highway 5 in B.C.’s Interior say out-of-province drivers are part of the problem. As Travis Prasad reports, they say those who take safety risks face little to no penalty.
“You won’t be sent to collections, it’s not going to be something that ends up causing you to get arrested for owing money to the government. It just sits out there as a fine payable and no enforcement action is taken.”
“Even if you’re found driving again in BC after getting a ticket as an Alberta driver, you still can’t be pulled over and forced to pay the ticket or investigated because you have an outstanding traffic fine.”
