The Saskatchewan RCMP have released some of the highlights from this year’s National Safe Driving Week.
One of these highlights involved a driver in Prince Albert who received just over $1,300 in fines for a variety of offences. RCMP said the driver was recorded going 54 kilometers per hour in a 30 km/h school zone. After being pulled over, police found the driver did not have a valid licence or vehicle registration and there were numerous cracks in the windshield. An infant was also in the vehicle in a booster seat which was not secured in the vehicle nor were the straps tightened.
Another one of the highlights saw a driver in the southwest corner of the province near Kindersley for driving 183 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Highway 7. This driver got a fine for just over $1,000.
A third highlight saw a driver pulled over near Balgonie, east of Regina after they were seen drifting out of their lane. The driver was found to be holding a tablet on the steering wheel as they tried to log on to a conference call while driving. This netted the driver a fine of nearly $300.
