More charges have been laid as provincial police continue to keep tabs on motorists as part of the Festive RIDE campaign.
During the first 15 days of the campaign, officers in the OPP’s West Region conducted 730 RIDE checks across 13 detachments. In all, 122 impaired driving charges were laid and 14 warn-range suspensions were handed out.
That’s a significant increase from the same period last year, when 577 RIDE checks resulted in 75 impaired driving charges laid.
The Festive RIDE program runs through January 1st.
