Nearly 50 lead-footed drivers suffered consequences on Wednesday when Prince George and Vanderhoof RCMP conducted extra patrols along Highway 16.
In all, they issued 49 speeding tickets as well as five for vehicle-equipment violations, three for failing to slow down and move over for police vehicles, and one each for using a cellphone while driving, tailgating and crossing a double solid line.
The stepped up patrols are part of a month-long campaign to clamp down on speeding and other forms of aggressive driving across the province.
"We want to ensure all travellers get to their destinations safely." said Prince George RCMP Sgt Matt LaBelle.
