Speed Watch is an ICBC sponsored educational program aimed at reducing incidents of speeding.
This program not only provides awareness to drivers who are speeding, but it also provides valuable data to the Oceanside RCMP, City of Parksville, Town of Qualicum Beach and the RDN on areas where speeding is a significant problem.
OCSV Program Manager Michael Garland speaks about current community safety events on our local radio stations The Beach and The Lounge. If you missed the broadcast, you can listen here:
When I was relatively new to police work I was patrolling behind a car that had stopped at a red light with the left turn signal blinking. The next thing I knew, this car had turned left against the red light! Well, on went the lights and siren and I chased down this alleged red light runner. This would be an easy ticket, or so I thought.
During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 260 complaints.
"Are there rules for riding bicycles?" a reader asks after narrowly missing a collision with a bicyclist. "They seem to ride wherever they feel like it. How is a driver supposed to know what bicycle riders are going to do?"
During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 261 complaints.
I hope that most drivers subscribe to the Two Second Rule under good driving conditions and increase the following distance when the situation is not ideal. It certainly makes sense to leave sufficient room between your vehicle and the one you are following to create a safety margin. Why then do some drivers make lane changes that force the driver behind them into being a tailgater?
