Can't make it up. Guy had iPad and cell phone attached by strings on steering wheel while driving! Yes, that's his ticket he's holding.

- A passenger was seen littering so our member conducted a traffic stop. The driver was found to be impaired with too many passengers in their vehicle. Vehicle was impounded, driver received a prohibition and tickets issued. You never know where a traffic stop will lead!
- Tonights counter attack is dedicated to Olivia Malcom, a New Westminster resident who was killed just days before her 20th birthday in 2018. Please, if you consume drugs and/or alcohol - don’t drive. Take public transit, a taxi, ride share or have a designated driver #notonemore
- This driver was surprised to learn that if you exceed the speed limit by more than 40 km/h your vehicle can be impounded. Even if your vehicle is a semi truck sleeper cab with a 53’ trailer attached. #expensivelesson
- VPD members bump into @bryanadams today. Down to earth great Canadian and member of Order Of Canada! #CanadianIcon
- At 10 a.m. this morning, this driver was well over twice the legal limit. This is the second time in less than 2 yrs he is facing criminal charges for impaired driving. He was the only occupant in the vehicle and was uninjured.
- I don’t know where to begin with this….extremely unsafe and bad decision making by the driver. They received a Box 1 Notice and Order and a tow.
- This driver was over double the 50 kph speed limit in the 3000 E. Hastings around 3PM. Before you ask...we did not see the plate holder until they were stopped 😊 Fine and impoundment. #DriveSafe #NoNeedForSpeed #WeAreOutThere
- As a pedestrian, check that each lane of traffic sees you and has stopped when crossing the road. As a driver, when one lane of traffic has stopped, slow down and proceed with caution. Traffic may have stopped for a reason. #ShareTheRoad
00:00 - As a pedestrian, with the increase in dark and gloomy days, consider adding something reflective to increase your visibility. As a driver, you will see pedestrians when you really look for them. #ShareTheRoadBC @icbc
00:00 - After 32 years of service we had to say “good bye, good luck and happy retirement” to Sgt. Anderson. He is a valued and a deeply respected member of our department and we are sad to see him leave. But we wish him nothing but the best in all his future endeavours. Stay safe!
- Same driver & same obstructed plate... today, he asked for a few days to take off the rack. Two months apparently wasn't enough time! $230 fine. #DriveSafe #WereOutThere @VancouverPD
- A few hours ago in 4700 blk. of W16th Ave., this driver was caught on laser doing 143 km/h in 50 zone. Vehicle impounded. $483 plus points. #DriveSafe #WeAreOutThere
- Heads up for any FIFA soccer fans out there – the games are not televised in our jail cells. We do not serve alcohol or nachos, and you cannot invite your friends over. Please arrange a safe ride to and from your favourite World Cup viewing spot.
