The RCMP were quite busy during their Holiday Checkstop Program, with it getting closer to Christmas.

In its second week of the program, Thompson RCMP stopped 250 vehicles, with only 60 of those vehicles receiving common offence notices, otherwise known as tickets.

Failing to wear a seatbelt and having open liquor in the vehicle were issued to a few drivers, while failing to stop at stop signs were the majority of the offences committed.

Three drivers were stopped and charged for Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle.

The Thompson RCMP would like to remind motorists that failing to stop at a stop sign could cause a collision, hit a pedestrian or cause more significant damage.
