Police handed out more than 100 tickets in just four hours this week as the RCMP and ICBC partnered in cracking down on dangerous drivers.
During the morning hours on Tuesday, June 25, Surrey RCMP set up radar at six high-accident areas in Surrey in a program called Project Swoop.
In the four hours, the more than 100 tickets that were issued included about 60 per cent for speeding, 15 per cent for intersection infractions, and 25 per cent for other violations, such as not wearing seatbelts, having no driver’s licence or using cellphones while driving.
Police say this crackdown is one of many that will be conducted throughout the summer, along with ICBC CounterAttack campaigns targeting drinking drivers.
