Regina Police Service implements mandatory alcohol screening tests for drivers in March, targeting leading cause of fatal collisions in Saskatchewan.
Regina Police Service launches mandatory alcohol screening tests for drivers in March, following impaired driving as the leading cause of fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. The federal law passed in 2018 allows police to demand a breath sample from anyone, with penalties for refusal including license suspension, vehicle impoundment, fines, and a one-year ignition interlock requirement. The initiative aims to reduce impaired driving cases, with the number of related accidents, injuries, and fatalities decreasing in the last decade.
