According to police, 29 drivers were charged with impaired driving related offences in July. Of the charges, 18 were for alcohol impairment, two were for drug impairment, and nine drivers were issued suspensions for driving while having consumed alcohol. “Of the drivers who provided breath samples, officers were able to detect a wide range of blood alcohol concentrations (80 to 250 mg %) with eleven drivers being at least twice the legal limit,” police said in a news release. “Three of the drivers refused to provide a breath sample and were charged with the offence of refusal.” Police say five of the charges were laid following calls from the public about suspected impaired driving. This comes after officers stopped and charged 42 drivers with impaired-related offences in July. Police said statistics on impaired driving vary from year to year, which is a result of many factors. “I can (say) that we do continue to detect and catch impaired drivers on a regular basis throughout our region and all times of the day,” Constable John MacLeod, with HRP, told CityNews previously. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post ظريف يستقيل من مهمته قبل أن تبدأ next post After 35 years, the search continues for Kimberly Ann McAndrew You may also like Joly says about 45,000 Canadians in Lebanon; she’s... 21 سبتمبر، 2024 Unpredictable whooping cough outbreaks see cases rise in... 21 سبتمبر، 2024 Most Canadians feel country is not prepared for... 21 سبتمبر، 2024 ثلاثة جرحى في مسجد قرب مونتريال في هجوم... 21 سبتمبر، 2024 عناصر من الشرطة الملكية قد يُطردون بسبب تعليقات... 21 سبتمبر، 2024 Police warn of ‘theft ring’ targeting businesses in... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Orders now being taken for School Lunch program... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Bridge authority sends early warning to HRM drivers... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Family of inmate who died in Nova Scotia... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia sees slight jump in fuel prices 20 سبتمبر، 2024
