Nearly 200 drivers slapped with speeding tickets, 24 cars impounded in Fort St. John, Dawson Creek in one month
Almost 200 speeding tickets were issued to drivers in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek during October as part of the 2025 Drive Relative to Conditions campaign.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Almost 200 speeding tickets were issued to drivers in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek during October.
The numbers have been revealed as part of the B.C. Drive Relative to Conditions campaign last month.
Constable Chad Neustaeter of the Fort St. John RCMP detachment told Energeticcity.ca that 363 drivers were issued violation tickets between October 1st and 31st by BC Highway Patrol (BCHP).
Of those tickets, 197 were speeding offences and 24 were for “excessive speed” resulting in vehicles being impounded for a seven-day period.
Information for The Drive Relative to Conditions and Pedestrian Awareness Initiative was released earlier in November, with a press release saying almost 8,000 tickets were issued province-wide.
It said drivers in B.C. “still have a lot of work to do to make the roads safer for pedestrians, vulnerable road users and everyone else.”
More on the initiative can be found in the press release.
