DriveSmartBC is a community web site about traffic law and road safety in British Columbia that I run as a hobby.
The centerpiece is the weekly article that examines an aspect of traffic law based on the Criminal Code, the British Columbia driving statutes or an aspect of road safety in general. Readers are welcome to add their comments to each individual issue which I hope will provide a wider viewpoint on the topic and turn the site from a static place to read into a dynamic place to participate.
