Several roadblocks in Kamloops lead to tickets against impaired drivers

KAMLOOPS — Just because you’ve only had a couple of drinks doesn’t mean you’re set to drive — that’s the message coming from Kamloops RCMP after the launch of this year’s Counter Attack program.

The Kamloops RCMP have been conducting road checks to try and catch impaired drivers. Detachment spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says several roadblocks were conducted throughout the city last weekend.

Those checks resulted in:

• Six 90-day Immediate Roadside Suspensions
• One three-day Immediate Roadside Suspension
• Three 24-hour suspensions related to alcohol
• 20 violation tickets issued

“The consequences of impaired driving are massive,” Insp. Steve McLeod says in a news release. “You’re risking your life and the lives of others. You can be charged criminally and the ripple effect on you, your family and friends can be huge.”

Before indulging in some adult Christmas cheer, make a plan. Shelkie suggests having a designated driver, planning on taking a taxi, public transportation or using Operation Red Nose.
