The Editor,
I drive quite often in Coquitlam and I have become increasingly concerned about the amount and level of speeding.
Driving on Austin Avenue, North Road and Mariner Way has become a nightmare. Tailgating, which is really a form of bullying, even when you are driving 20 km/h over the speed limit, has become the norm and I have never seen any enforcement whatsoever.
I don’t know when Coquitlam RCMP decided to de-emphasize traffic enforcement but it’s no surprise that when there’s an accident, there are injuries and fatalities.
If you want to see something appalling, take a look at the speeding on North Road at night.
That kind of behaviour used to be against the law. Apparently not now.
