Sunshine Coast RCMP are asking for assistance from the public with identifying the driver (s) marking up the highways in the Garden Bay, Madeira Park and Pender Harbour communities.
"Residents and visitors of the Coast are disgusted with the condition of the roadway's left by drivers doing burnouts and stunting on the highways in Madeira Park," said Cpl. Steven Chubey. "Not only does this leave a bad impression to those passing through, but it's illegal. All we need is a date, time, licence plate and witnesses willing to go to court, and we will charge them. We don't need to know who's driving because we can charge the registered owner, even if it's mom or dad's car."
Chubey said anyone caught driving in such a manner (stunting)will face motor vehicle act charges of drive without due care which carries a $368 fine and an automatic seven-day vehicle impoundment, or Criminal Code charges of dangerous driving. The Sunshine Coast RCMP will be making additional patrols targeting these driving offences.
Anyone with information on those committing these infractions are asked to contact RCMP at 604-885-2266 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
