That same day, BC Highway Patrol near Chilliwack took two other high-risk drivers off the road.

Officers served an impaired driver with a three-day immediate driving prohibition and impounded their vehicle for three days.

The other driver was caught driving while prohibited. Officers served the driver with a court date and impounded their vehicle for seven days.

The officers served over 90 violation tickets for a variety of traffic offences throughout the day.

Our BC South Coast Highway Patrol officers worked hard to keep drivers safe this past weekend and they may have prevented some traffic fatalities by taking these four high-risk drivers off the road, said Corporal Melissa Jongema, BC Highway Patrol Media Relations Officer.

If you witness any drivers excessively speeding, driving while impaired, or otherwise driving in an unsafe manner, please report them to your local police.
