Seventy five charges were laid by the Prince George RCMP during a two day enforcement blitz this past weekend.
Even though the road conditions were less than ideal several drivers still decided to drive with a heavy foot resulting in 22 speeding violations.
It is a less than surprising result according to Corporal Craig Douglass.
“Unfortunately we still see some drivers that don’t heed our warnings who drive not only excessive to the speed limit but maybe the road conditions depending on what they are at the time.”
The RCMP also laid 9 impaired driving charges on Friday and Saturday.
Here is the full list of offences.
– 4 – Impairment by Alcohol
