Saint John police report that 23 drivers were ticketed and 15 others were warned during a recent campaign targeting aggressive driving.
The enforcement effort took place from October 21 to 24 and focused on behaviours such as speeding, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and ignoring traffic signals.
Police said the campaign was carried out by the Quick Reaction Team and Traffic Management Officers, with the goal of improving safety for all road users and reducing the risk of serious injury and fatal collisions.
Targeted traffic enforcement will continue across the city, alongside efforts to educate motorists about traffic laws, according to Saint John police.
