THUNDER BAY - The annual Festive RIDE program held in the city of Thunder Bay and surrounding region continues to see a high number of impaired drivers charged, and law enforcement officials say this is likely only scratching the surface.
All drivers arrested were subject to a seven-day vehicle impoundment and a 90-day licence suspension. “So I don’t think those numbers are necessarily a true account of the account of impaired drivers in Thunder Bay, but it is the amount of impaired drivers being taken off the road, which during the holiday season is way too many.”
“We do have significantly higher number of drug impaired arrests compared to the rest of the province and I think that goes to our officer’s detection skills and their investigative ability.” In the Thunder Bay District, the Ontario Provincial Police reported a similarly high number of impaired driving charges.
“The more officers we can get out patrolling and proactively doing ride checks and interacting with people, we should be able to mitigate those numbers,” he said.
