The RCMP will be out on the roads to enforce sober driving ahead of the holidays for its Light Up the Province enforcement campaign.
On Saturday, officers around the province will spend their entire shift dedicated to impaired driving enforcement, with the one-night campaign being the launch of the month-long Winter Impaired Driving campaign.
Other roadblocks will be happening, including in the North District, and throughout highways in Central BC.
Police are asking drivers to remember the basics of planning a safe ride home:
- Make sure your designated driver is sober;
- Use transit, taxis and rideshare instead of driving;
- Plan your parties within walking distance of your bedroom;
- Take extra steps to make sure your children, or anyone who may be exposed to extra alcohol or drugs, has a safe option to get home.
Operation Red Nose will also be available Friday and Saturday nights in December, except for December 26th and 27th, and return on New Year’s Eve.
