Drunk driving numbers up in December despite police, SGI efforts
The latest numbers provide a disappointing reflection on efforts to combat drinking and driving in Saskatchewan.
In December, police recorded 353 impaired driving offences – compared to 308 the year before, according to a release from Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI).
December was the third consecutive month where SGI and police across the province ran an awareness campaign against drinking and driving.
“It’s certainly disappointing,” said Earl Cameron, vice-president of the Auto Fund, in a release Monday.
