Loser
A 72 year old driver from Saanich, B.C.
A motorist with “too many” tickets for using an electronic device while driving is facing a four-month driving prohibition, according to Saanich police.
“Just served a 72-year-old driver a 4-month driving prohibition as they had too many ‘use an electronic device while driving tickets,’” the police service’s traffic safety unit tweeted Wednesday.
No other details on the driver’s penalty were provided, but, according to the B.C. government website, prohibitions for experienced drivers can result if the driver incurs two or more distracted driving infractions within 12 months.
The fine for a driver’s first distracted driving infraction totals $578 — a $368 fine plus a four-point penalty on the driving record, which adds $210 to the driver’s premium — the website reads.
Winner
Danny Trejo
You may only know Denny Trejo from movies where he usually plays a tough-guy…
But now, Trejo is being called a hero after he helped rescue a young boy who was trapped in a car that overturned in a Los Angeles traffic collision on Wednesday.
