Police are hopeful the city’s drivers are getting the anti-drunk driving message after Thursday night’s ‘Mega-Ride’ road check operation turned up only one arrest for impaired driving out of 1,290 stops.
There were a total of 16 field tests for alcohol, and another driver was administered a field sobriety test for drugs and passed.
The check did result in 11 provincial notices for various offences, as well as six suspended drivers and three uninsured drivers.
Police cautioned that the positive results must be maintained.
“We know that even one drink can reduce your reaction to something that happens suddenly in front of you when you’re driving,” said Sgt. Julie Mann in a release. “We have been to fatal collisions that could have been easily avoided if the driver had just gotten a ride home with a sober driver.”
Police also reminded drivers that, while a .08 reading is a criminal offence, drivers can still lose their license for three days if they register in the “warn range” of between .04 and .08.
