Speeding tickets accounted for the bulk of the infractions between June 11 and 17 for members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services division.
Fifty-seven speeding tickets were issued over the seven-day span. Two of those tickets were for motorists who exceeded the speed limit by more than 35 kilometres per hour.
Police also charged seven motorists who were operating an unregistered vehicle.
Five tickets were for drivers failing to wear a seat belt, and one was for a passenger failing to use a seat belt. Three tickets were for motorists who failed to stop at a stop sign, and one was for a driver who didn’t stop at a red light.
Members issued one ticket each for using a cellphone while driving, driving without a valid licence, failing to comply with a licence restriction, having protruding sharp edges on a vehicle, and having tinted front side windows.
Members also gave 20 warnings and handed out three inspection notices.
The traffic unit has been focusing on new drivers this month. Drivers with a learner’s permit are reminding that their supervising driver must be a fully licensed driver, and holds a valid Class 5 licence or higher.
The supervising driver cannot be under the influence of any intoxicating substances, including drugs or alcohol.
