‘Tis the season for the RCMP Drinking Driving Counterattack Campaign

RCMP in the Lower Mainland are trying to curb impaired driving once again this holiday season with their annual Christmas Counterattack campaign.

Corporal Robert McDonald says anybody that’s been drinking should be prepared to be tested.

And if someone fails, their vehicle will be impounded, and they’ll receive a ninety day road prohibition.

“This year, hopefully people will plan ahead before they go out and drink alcoholic beverages.  That’s really our goal this year.  Take a taxi, take friends, a designated driver.  But plan before you start drinking.”

From November 1st, 2011 to January 2nd, 2012, nearly 400 drivers were taken off Lower Mainland roads.
