BC Highway Patrol says it was kept busy during the Victoria Day long weekend in Keremeos as the provincial unit issued "various" driving violations, including for excessive speeding.
Officers also nabbed motorists for driving without due care, distracted driving, and driving while impaired by drugs, according to the RCMP.
BC Highway Patrol officers were located in "various locations" in Keremeos to remind drivers to slow down and drive safely as part of its High-Risk Driving and Motorcycle Awareness campaign for May.
"The primary objective of enforcement is to reduce fatal and serious injury motor vehicle collisions," said Sgt. Brian Evans of the Keremeos BC Highway Patrol. "Our dedicated officers contributed to achieving this goal through high visibility and vigorous enforcement."
In a press release issued this week, Keremeos RCMP reminded drivers to slow down and use caution on the roads.
"With the summer rapidly approaching, vehicle traffic is more prominent on our highways," it reads.
