I shamefully regret to tell you that two years ago I was charged for DUI. Thankfully, I didn't hurt anyone and i wasn't in an accident. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that I did it. I was given a great big fine, my car was impounded and of course my licence was taken away.

The left lane is so popular lately that when I keep right I often find myself behind fewer vehicles at the next red traffic light. In fact, at one particular intersection on my commute many times I can be first in line. Everyone else seems stuck in the left lane trying to get ahead, fuming, following too closely and making sudden lane changes.
Recently a trucking company created a parking pad for their large and noisy dump trucks. Its on a property in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and they need to drive through our residential neighbourhood to get there. I don't want our street to be a truck route.
A driver asks about the congestion ahead warning signs she saw when travelling in the northbound lanes of Highway 1 as you leave Langford towards Goldstream. She was curious about the symbol of three cars with their flashers on. What does this sign mean?
When I was posted to Fort St. John detachment, the decision was easy, our family car had four studded winter tires. Once I was transferred to Penticton, these tires went with the car when we traded it in and we used all season tires throughout the year.
