Interesting read. I find the blitz on the Malahat kind of funny. For me, it just tells me I need to drive slow over the Malahat but I know I will be fine over the limit everywhere else on my drive from Victoria to Duncan and back.
I did the Malahat drive last Wednesday north bound at 5pm and then south bound at 10pm. On the way north, 3 PC had 3 different cars pulled over in different spots. On the way southbound, a PC had it's yellow directional lights on at the bottom of the 4 lane hill as you start the drive. Clearly there would be plenty of police on the hat even at 10pm.
I was riding my sport bike with another sport bike rider who I did not know. We were both purposely going the speed limit even on the 4 lane section where everyone speeds. Sure enough there is a black Dodge Magnum wagon sitting in the dark with a gun and then around the corner police are stepping out. They already had one bike pulled over and pulled over myself and the other rider. We were both confused as to why we were pulled over. Sure enough no ticket for either of us. Seems they just wanted to make their presence known and check for alcohol, current license etc.
