The Westshore RCMP web site

Posted by Steven Hurdle on February 2, 2010

I discovered this site recently, and it’s a collection of news stories about the Westshore RCMP. It seems like they’re updating their Newsroom quite frequently, and they have several other resources there as well.

    Roger:

    This is directly from the BC Motor Vehicle Act.

    Passing on right
    158 (1) The driver of a vehicle must not cause or permit the vehicle to overtake and pass on the right of another vehicle, except

    (a) when the vehicle overtaken is making a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn,

    (b) when on a laned roadway there is one or more than one unobstructed lane on the side of the roadway on which the driver is permitted to drive, or

    (c) on a one way street or a highway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement, where the roadway is free from obstructions and is of sufficient width for 2 or more lanes of moving vehicles.

    (2) Despite subsection (1), a driver of a vehicle must not cause the vehicle to overtake and pass another vehicle on the right

    (a) when the movement cannot be made safely, or

    (b) by driving the vehicle off the roadway.
