A truck driver has been penalized after being caught on camera attempting to pass another truck in Delta last month.

The Delta Police Department tweeted a 12-second dash cam video of the incident, which it says took place on the Deltaport overpass on Oct. 19.

In the video, two semi trucks can be seen driving toward the camera. The one farther behind attempts to pull into oncoming traffic to pass the truck in the lead, only to swerve back behind the lead truck when the driver with the camera honks their horn.

Police said they "worked with partner agencies to investigate and identify the driver," who was issued two tickets as a result of the near-miss.

The driver was fined $368 for driving without due care and another $109 for crossing a double solid line.

Those offences also come with a total of nine licence penalty points.
