Drivers who were snagged in the Coquitlam RCMP's high-risk driving enforcement campaign were among more than 800 who received tickets.
Last month, officers issued tickets to motorists for speeding, ignoring traffic-control devices, failing to yield, following too closely and improper passing during the campaign.
The number of tickets was down from the 1,177 that were issued over the same period in a similar campaign last year.
"I'm glad to see a lot of drivers in our communities are getting the message but there are still some who don't and our ticket numbers showed that," said Sgt. Terry MacDonald of Traffic Services in a press release. "Injuries and deaths related to high-risk driving behaviours… are completely preventable."
High-risk driving contributes to 43% of all crashes that result in injuries or deaths in B.C., according to ICBC data.
