Police also issued 2,407 tickets, warnings and vehicle defect notices, including 1,090 for speeding, 479 for license and registration offences and 461 for vehicle equipment offences. 

In another stop near La Ronge on Oct. 9, police said a driver with an expired learner’s license tested positive for THC. Four young passengers were in the vehicle, including an infant who was not properly restrained. The driver received a 60-day roadside suspension, a seven-day vehicle impoundment, multiple tickets and a $325 fine. 

The Saskatchewan RCMP said impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving and failing to properly restrain passengers continue to put lives at risk. Police reminded motorists that road safety is a shared responsibility. 

So far this year, 74 collisions have resulted in the deaths of 89 people in Saskatchewan. Of those, over half involved alcohol or drugs
