Ontario Provincial Police charged 100 people with impaired driving in Eastern Ontario in this year’s Festive RIDE campaign.
The number of drivers charged increased slightly over 2014 when 87 drivers were charged with impaired, driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit, or refusing to provide a breath sample, even though the OPP conducted 474 fewer roadside checkstops.
It wasn’t all bad news, however, as the number of drivers who received license suspensions for registering a blood-alcohol level in the “warning” range dropped by more than half. The OPP reported that 41 drivers received a warn notice during the 2015 campaign, down from 105 a year earlier.
Across Ontario, the OPP reported that 573 people were charged with impaired-driving-related offences and 350 had their licenses suspended after receiving warnings during the campaign, which ran from Nov. 23 to Jan. 2.
The OPP said that, while the numbers were down slightly, impaired driving still poses a huge threat to public safety.
“Despite the high number of charges again this year, it is difficult to understand why people still choose to drink or use drugs, and then get behind the wheel to drive. These statistics are alarming, and we intend to keep the pressure on drivers who refuse to consider an alternative way to get to their destination,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, commander of traffic safety and operational support.
