B.C. to become 1st in Canada to require commercial trucks have dashcams

British Columbia is set to become the first province in Canada to mandate that commercial trucks be equipped with dashcams, following a bill introduced by Conservative MLA Ward Stamer. This legislation comes in response to a series of fatal accidents on Highway 5, which runs through Stamer's riding of Kamloops-North Thompson.

The introduction of this bill highlights a proactive approach to enhancing road safety and accountability among commercial drivers, potentially reducing the number of accidents and improving overall traffic management in the province.
