Kelowna RCMP hand out 49 traffic tickets in one day

Kelowna RCMP officers were handing out traffic violation tickets left and right during an enforcement blitz Tuesday.

Officers gave out 49 tickets on May 27, according to an RCMP media release.

“These results highlight the ongoing concerns we see on our roadways and reinforce the need for continued proactive enforcement,” Kelowna Municipal Traffic Services Cpl. Ryan Danilowich said in the release.

Officers handed out 22 tickets for speeding, 11 tickets for distracted driving, one for driving without insurance, one for driving without a licence and 14 more for other Motor Vehicle Act offences.

RCMP are going to be doing aggressive enforcement initiatives like this one all summer to reduce dangerous driving in the city.
