Earlier this week, Ward Stamer, the MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, expressed doubt that his private member's bill would succeed in the British Columbia legislature. The bill proposes mandating dash cameras in commercial trucks.
Despite his initial skepticism, Stamer's bill has now passed its second reading, marking significant progress in its legislative journey. The intent is to improve road safety and accountability for commercial drivers by requiring the use of dash cams.
"I honestly didn’t think this bill would pass, but it’s moving forward," said Stamer.
This development highlights growing concerns around road safety related to commercial trucking in the region.
