Its RCMP car check day on Gabriola

This time they have parked at the intersection of Bertha and North Rd so we get stopped coming and going. They are polite, check license, seat belts and take a good look around the car. TPS got ticket for driving without a license but has 10 days to show it to our locals. There are a pile of trucks in the village waiting for the road check to go - makes you wonder. The community Facebook page spotted it early and seems to be divided between people who shrug, that's what the RCMP does; some who feel violated and quite a few who know they cant afford car repairs etc. and definitely cant afford a ticket.

  1. Maybe the RCMP have figured out that a stop site on the sharp bend has two drawbacks - it's unsafe and leaves an "escape" route through Bertha!
