More police speed traps would make sense. Last 2 times i went to whistler i didn't see a single cop on the s2s.
And another thing, why is there no bi-yearly safety inspections for older cars in this province? Back in alberta if you sold your car it had to pass a safety inspection in order to get it registered. That takes so many shitboxes off the road.

there hasn't been BC provincial inspections for passenger vehicles since the late 70's/early 80's i think? i can't remember the reason why for the cancellation of the program, but i would suspect it would be because of money and politics. the only time you would get a gov't inspection here is if you bought a vehicle outside of BC. and in this case the jeep had a washington state registration so it wouldn't have made a difference here, not knowing what condition it was in pre-crash.
