B.C. Sees Deadliest July on Roads in Over a Decade

British Columbia experienced its deadliest July on roads in over a decade, with 51 driving fatalities reported. The province has responded by increasing penalties for towing and storing impounded vehicles belonging to dangerous drivers, effective immediately. This measure, however, has been met with criticism from some municipal leaders, who argue it is insufficient to address the issue. They advocate for stricter penalties tailored to individual income levels, aiming to deter reckless driving and ensure safer roads for all.
