Mandate Vomit Bags in All Hired Vehicles in British Columbia

The Issue

In memory of a dear friend's daughter and her friend,  we are calling for a change that could save lives. A tragic incident took place where the lack of vomit bags in a hired vehicle led to an otherwise unnecessary stop on the side of the road, resulting in fatal consequences. This could have been prevented if vomit bags were mandatory in all cars for hire.

In British Columbia alone, there are thousands of cars for hire operating daily.  It is alarming to hear that pulling over for sick occupants is a common occurrence among Uber, Lyft, cabs, and limos. By mandating these vehicles carry vomit bags at all times, we can potentially reduce the number of roadside stops and thus decrease the risk associated with unscheduled and often dangerous pull-overs. 

This simple measure can make our roads safer and prevent future tragedies like this from happening again. We urge lawmakers and regulatory bodies overseeing transportation services in British Columbia to take immediate action on this matter.

Please sign and share this petition to help us bring about this crucial change.
