Nearly 250 impaired driving charges have been laid by West Region OPP as part of the Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign, officials said this week.
Police have conducted more than 1,670 ride checks across 13 detachments since Nov. 16, resulting in 249 impaired driving charges and 43 warn-range suspensions.
That includes 35 in Lambton — just behind Essex for the most in any West Region detachment area (36).
The Festive RIDE campaign is an annual police enforcement and education initiative aimed at taking impaired drivers off Ontario roads during the holiday season.
This year's OPP Festive RIDE Campaign runs through to January 1, 2024. During the campaign, the public can expect an increased OPP presence on West Region roads and highways as officers conduct RIDE initiatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the province.
