In an effort to enhance road safety and reduce the incidence of aggressive driving in our community, the Saint John Police will once again be conducting an Aggressive Driving Campaign between May 14 – May 17, 2025. The goal is to deter aggressive driving behaviours and hold accountable those who put others at risk.
Through education and enforcement, Traffic Management Officers will increase efforts targeting aggressive driving behaviours that endanger other persons or property such as speeding, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, disobeying traffic control devices, and driving without due care and attention.
Did you know that there are stiffer penalties for dangerous driving in New Brunswick:
- Speeding 50-80 km/h over the posted limit = $500 fine, 5 demerit points, and vehicle impounded for 7 days
- Speeding 80 km/h or more over the posted limit = $1000 fine, 6 demerit points, and vehicle impounded for 30 days
Remember to:
