Yarmouth RCMP Target Distracted Drivers

RCMP in Yarmouth have handed out fines to 20 motorists nabbed for texting or making phone calls while driving. Police conducted a blitz along Starrs Road on Friday. They had a plain clothed officer report clear violations to other members who were parked nearby. The project allowed police to issue 23 tickets to motorists for not wearing seat belts. Similar initiatives to halt distracted driving are also planned in Digby and Shelburne Counties in the near future.
