Manitoba Public Insurance is slamming the brakes on waiving road test requirements for drivers-ed graduates after an "overwhelming response from the driver education community."
The goal of the research, which took place over five months in both rural and urban locations, was to better understand how frequently Manitoba drivers exceed speed limits.
Many motorists still haven't learned to slow down and move over when they see tow trucks or emergency vehicles on the side of the road, despite laws on the books for over a decade.
According to police, the circumstances of the fall aren't considered suspicious, although Stonewall/Headingley RCMP and major crimes services continue to investigate.
