The RCMP’s holiday checkstop program saw motorists driving responsibly in the first week.

 

From December 1st to the 7th, Thompson RCMP checked 241 vehicles. Police Community Relations Officer, Constable Sandra Deibert says they found zero impaired drivers, and no roadside suspension or seatbelt charges were made but they did issue 2 highway traffic act tickets.

 

Deibert reminds people who plan to drink, to make plans for a ride back before they head out for the night.
