LETHBRIDGE — While thousands of attendees had a positive experience during the ever-popular Street Machine weekend, it turns out most who attended were also well-behaved.
Lethbridge Police and Alberta Sheriffs issued 61 traffic and liquor violations during the 2019 Street Machine Weekend. While the number is more than what police would like to see, it’s roughly a quarter of the usual violations.
Last year, 179 tickets were handed out. Most of those were for speeding, stunting and equipment violations. In addition, police laid several impaired driving charges.
Police want to thank the local Street Wheelers Car club for their cooperation and ongoing efforts to keep the event say for everyone to enjoy.
