VANCOUVER - The mother of a gas station attendant who died trying to collect money from a fleeing customer says a groundbreaking new law coming into effect Friday will protect other gas station employees from a similar fate.

The law, the first of its kind in Canada, will require B.C. drivers to always pay before they pump, day or night.

So how is this possible? how am i suppose to know how much I need? How am i suppose to know that im not over paying than the actual amount i need?

This is like a few of the state's gas station! i always either under pay or over pay! -__- this is ridiculous!

I use credit card to pay at the pump.  I hope it won't change anything for people using credit card since they needed to insert their card before pumping.

I always use my debit card to prepaid anyway.
