One day.. I keep an ear open as I pass though.. Still have not caught any action. I'll be through tomorrow. Maybe something will occur? Glad to see the "amp hog' on LFD's new Engine.

Thanks! I don't get to Nanaimo much anymore so it was cool to get a clip of one of NFD's new Engines. I heard they may be cutting jobs in the NFD??

Wow, if there were more highway patrol cars out there most of the motoring public wouldn't be driving their automobiles.

Was your friend a"new" driver?

A friend of mine in Surrey got his license suspended for 3 months because he didn't yield to an ambulance that was going code 3.
