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.
During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 317 complaints.
Garry Cox was a member of Oceanside Community Safety and served on our board of directors. He passed on June 21, 2022 at the age of 70 and a memorial service will be held in the Qualicum Beach Civic Center on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 between 1:00 and 4:00 pm.
I watched a particularly foolish driver the other afternoon who decided to cross over two lanes of traffic in order to prepare for a left turn about a kilometer ahead. This driver zoomed across all the lanes without pause, ending up in the left hand lane about three vehicle lengths ahead of a heavy truck.
During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 298 complaints.
Tow trucks are too expensive! I've got a chain and a buddy to do the steering and apply the brakes, so we'll just drag that broken down vehicle home and fix it ourselves. Think of the money we'll save doing it this way!
Long weekends mean more vehicles – and crashes – on B.C. roads. On average, three people are killed and 560 injured in crashes over the B.C. Day long weekend every year. In a new ICBC survey, 66% of respondents stated they have already taken or will be taking a road trip this summer. Nearly half of those planning a road trip (45%) stated they’ll be driving more than they did last summer. We’re sharing important safety tips for drivers to help keep our roads safe this long weekend.
