A recent RCMP traffic enforcement operation in Southeastern New Brunswick has resulted in 263 tickets being issued.

Between June 5 and June 7, 2025, members of the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducted a traffic enforcement operation in the southeastern part of the province.

A total of 263 traffic violations were issued under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, including a total of 55 tickets to drivers without a valid inspection certificate, 48 tickets for speeding, 42 tickets for operating a vehicle while being distracted, and 13 vehicles were towed. Five drivers were charged with operating a motor vehicle while driving privilege was suspended, two individuals were arrested for an outstanding warrant, and one was arrested for driving while impaired. In addition, 10 fictitious inspection stickers were seized during this operation.

Displaying a fraudulent or stolen inspection sticker is a violation of the Motor Vehicle Act, Section 250 (3) or 250(4). An individual doing so may be subject to a fine of $292.50 and the vehicle could be towed at the owner’s expense.

"There are different characteristics that we look for in the stickers—things like colour, fonts, spacing, and security features," said Sgt. Ghislain David with the Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit. "If something looks off, we’ll ask for the inspection certificate, and in most cases where a driver has a fake sticker, they won’t have the proper documentation. We can also check vehicle records to confirm whether an inspection was officially recorded."

The New Brunswick RCMP's TTEU conducts regular, targeted traffic enforcement on roadways throughout the province with the goals of improving road safety, educating motorists about traffic laws and to reduce serious injury and fatal collisions.

The public can assist in keeping dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or a suspected impaired driver, call 911. Your description of the driver, vehicle, licence plate number and direction of travel can assist police in making New Brunswick roads safer.
