Tough new BC policy targets drunk driving crackdown
Victoria announces a hard line on impaired driving with two 24 hour roadside prohibitions in two years triggering an additional two month driving ban. A third 24 hour prohibition brings at least a three month suspension under the New Era safety plan. The policy, effective August, replaces prior warning letters after three prohibitions and a four-prohibition license suspension.

Province abandons Coquihalla lease plan
Premier Gordon Campbell announced the province will not lease the Coquihalla Highway to a private partner. Tolls stay unchanged and the plan is dropped, with funds redirected to existing $300 million Southern Interior improvements. The public and MLAs favored maintaining the status quo despite 28 expressions of private interest.
