Distracted Driving continues to be a leading cause of MVI fatalities. Every September is the Provincial Campaign to raise awareness through education and enforcement. Save $368, 4 points and potentially someone's life! #EyesForwardBC #JustDrive #ItCanWait #LeaveYourPhoneAlone

Reminder that our most recent fatal MVI involved a motorcycle where speed was likely a contributing factor. 137 km/h in 3000 E. Hastings will cost this 25 year old (Class 8) rider $483 + tow/storage impound fees. Still less than the alternative... #DriveSafe #WeAreOutThere

Please note the sign at Nicola St. (northbound) at W. Georgia which directs traffic to turn right only. It is dangerous to cross busy lanes on Georgia to turn left. Disobeying this sign also impedes vehicular flow. 21 VTs in less than an hour at $121 and 2 demerit points each.…

Not a great idea to drive at this speed across Cambie Street Bridge... especially not smart to do so near @VancouverPD headquarters. Fined and impounded...and towing and storage fees etc. #NoNeedForSpeed #DriveSafe #WeAreOutThere

Traffic Enforcement @VancouverPD has avid motorcyclists on and off duty. But, "unnecessary noise" goes against MVA Regs and is annoying for many @CityofVancouver residents and visitors. All 4 received fines. #RespectYourNeighbours #DriveSafe #WeAreOutThere
