Tow truck drivers continue to make a brisk business every time Burnaby RCMP and neighbouring police agencies conduct commercial vehicle enforcements.
Officers with the RCMP’s traffic section and their Lower Mainland counterparts were out on 10th Avenue by 20th Street on the Burnaby-New Westminster border Wednesday.
They inspected 37 commercial vehicles and took 26 out of service for safety violations, according to police.
The officers found a total of 135 violations and issued 62 tickets.
They caught one driver who was prohibited from driving but was operating a truck anyway.
Neither of his passengers was wearing a seatbelt, the cargo in the back was not secured and the truck had a flat tire, according to police.
The vehicle was towed.
