“Some drivers continue to take unnecessary chances,” say Police. “Motorists are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving and novice class drivers are required to have a blood alcohol concentration of zero while driving. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.”
