Editor:

I have just read your article regarding an accident involving an Amazon delivery van.

I, and I am sure others, are concerned about the driving of delivery van drivers and, of course, the driving of others. From what I have observed it is apparent that some delivery drivers prioritize how quickly they can make deliveries and thus too often drive their vans unsafely.

There are not enough police to observe and act on the many incidents of unsafe driving that occur every day. As with other illegal activity, members of the public can help safeguard others by reporting incidents such as illegal driving. In Burnaby they can report this via Burnaby Online Crime Reporting https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/burnaby/en.

From the time I started my nursing training and through my years working as a nurse and volunteering for public safety I am very aware of how much prevention optimizes health and safety.

With hope,

Diane Gillis
