BC Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement is sharing more highway horror stories.
In the latest instalment of its "Wanted Off the Road" series, CVSE shares four more real cases of unsafe vehicles whose drivers were recently ticketed.
"Some vehicle safety violations can be hidden to the naked eye. For these posters, we’ve chosen vehicles that are much less discreet – you just know something’s wrong as soon as you look at them," the Ministry of Transportation said in the post.
While CVSE focuses on commercial transport enforcement, it has the legal authority to stop any vehicle to address an imminent hazard.
One of the latest cases is:
I 'woodn't' do that: Absolutely no load security holding the lumber in this old camper van. It was so overloaded the front wheels were bouncing off the road! A flag is also required when cargo overhang is more than 1.2 metres.

I think you misspelled “Putting the Bus to Work Thread.”

Hilarious and unsafe  Let’s talk about that bus. WTF is going on there? From exhaust tips sucking into the cabin. The late bay pop top. The early rear lights. Looks like 72 vents. The odd angle of the side view mirror. Was Robbie or Colin picking up lumber in British Columbia using a clients bus

No no no, they won’t let us over the border. Something about angles of dangles?

I see what you did there. You talking about Submarines or music?
