On February 8 and 9, 2024, the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducted a traffic enforcement operation in the Western Valley region of the province, resulting in two vehicles being towed and 93 traffic violations being issued.
In total, two vehicles were towed and 93 tickets were issued under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, including 50 tickets for speeding and seven for using a hand-held electronic device while driving. Additionally, one person was arrested for driving while impaired and another person for driving while suspended.
"The RCMP Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit focuses on behaviours that pose the greatest risk to the public, whether it's driving behaviours or criminal activity," said Sgt. Ghislain David with the Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit. "We all have a role to play when it comes to making our roads and communities safer, and our top priority remains ensuring public safety by limiting the number of dangerous drivers on our roadways."
The public can assist in keeping dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or a suspected impaired driver, call 911. Your description of the driver, vehicle, licence plate number and direction of travel can assist police in making New Brunswick roads safer.
