Video evidence leads to charge for driver
Dashcam evidence turned over to Kimberley RCMP led to charges of Undue Care and Attention under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The complainant supplied the video after observing a vehicle pass four vehicles on Highway 95A near Wycliffe Park Road on Jan 21. The offender passed two vehicles and then two more, at which time he was in the opposite lane while going through the intersection. Two vehicles coming from the other direction were forced onto the shoulder as they approached the intersection.
Police were able to track down the owner of the vehicle and then the driver who was issued a violation ticket. The charge carries a $368 fine and six demerit points.
Police have received a number of driving complaints along Highway 95A between Cranbrook and Kimberley, especially during peak periods. Targeted enforcement is being conducted and complaints are acted upon if there is sufficient evidence.
