Thompson RCMP stopped approximately 100 vehicles last week in part of their Holiday Checkstop Program.

19 tickets were handed out while there was only Impaired Driving Charge this time around.

Among the issued tickets, failing to stop at a stop sign continues to be the most frequent offence. There were two tickets issued for having open liquor in the vehicle.

Thompson RCMP want to remind drivers that as it is dark early in the evening, to ensure that all of your vehicle lights are on when driving. This week coming up will see sunset at 4PM or earlier.  Please take the time to ensure that your vehicle lights are in fact on and working properly.
