Drinking and/or using drugs before driving can lead to fatalities, heavy price to pay if convicted police remind public
Sault Ste. Marie Police Service officers, joined by officers from the Anishinabek Police Service, Sault OPP and RCMP reinforced that message as they gathered on Bay Street on Thursday to officially launch the 2022 Festive RIDE Campaign.The number of impaired driving offences reported from the 2021 RIDE Campaign was down from 2020 because of a significant decrease in traffic, police believing that was mainly due to ongoing public health restrictions at the time.
“We’re just hoping that people use alternate transportation and not drive after consuming alcohol and/or drugs,” Williams said. Police will be conducting roadside checks throughout the Christmas season to ensure drivers are sober. “If you suspect someone is driving impaired, call 911. The Highway Traffic Act allows drivers who are calling Police, Fire or Ambulance to use their cell phone while driving.”
