NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS 1130) – During a three-day road safety initiative earlier this month, more than half of the commercial trucks stopped by New West police failed to pass an inspection.
In a partnership with the provincial Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch, police inspected commercial vehicles driving through the city.
Between Oct. 2 and Oct. 4, a total of 314 trucks were stopped, out of which 168 had to be removed from the road after failing to pass the examination. Only 23 passed with no issues, while 122 required minor repairs.
“With the number of commercial vehicles driving through New Westminster, this was one of the largest initiatives of its type in the province,” read a release from police. “The focus of the blitz was on business vehicles that may not be properly maintained and could ultimately pose a danger on our roads.”
Police checked for things such as mechanical issues, driver qualifications, load security, brakes, and driver fatigue. Officers issued 62 violation tickets totalling more than $19,000 in fines and almost $13,000 in bylaw tickets.
“Officers observed a number of different issues, ranging from minor things that could be repaired on site, to major issues which required the vehicle to be towed,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott in a release. “This type of initiative is one of the many different ways that we ensure road safety.”
