South Bruce OPP release results of Festive R.I.D.E. campaign

South Bruce OPP have released their results from their Festive R.I.D.E campaign that took place from November 26 to January 3.

South Bruce OPP officers charged five drivers with impaired driving offences.

During the same period, officers investigated 84 motor vehicle collisions. Injuries were reported at four of the collision scenes. At two of the scenes, a motorist was charged with impaired driving.

"Every impaired driver is a threat to road safety and it only takes 1 to seriously injure someone that you care about. The South Bruce OPP charged 5 impaired drivers during this year's Festive R.I.D.E. campaign. The campaign has ended, but you can expect to see R.I.D.E. checks all year long in Southern Bruce County to deter this dangerous and illegal choice," said Inspector Krista Miller, Detachment Commander, South Bruce OPP.
