BC Highway Patrol fines semi driver for multiple safety infractions

semi truck safety BC Highway Patrol driver fines commercial vehicle infractions unsecured load

A semi-truck driver was fined over $1,600 following a stop by the BC Highway Patrol near Malakwa. The 46-year-old driver from Calgary was found operating a vehicle with ten distinct safety infractions.

Major violations included defective brakes and lights, bald tires, a cracked windshield, no windshield wipers, and a diesel leak. The vehicle's cab was reportedly held together with ratchet straps, and the load of steel bars was unsecured. Additionally, the driver could not provide an Electronic Driver Log.

During the stop, officers discovered a one-year-old toddler being held in the arms of a mother who was also not wearing a seat belt. The truck and trailer have been removed from the road and cannot be re-licensed until all identified safety issues are repaired at the owner's expense.
