This would involve the RCMP not the OPP! However, I agree they have failed in their duty to investigate and lay charges for numerous conflicts of interest, theft and fraud!
As if that’s the problem . So how come we had any DUIs before that came into effect ? If someone is selfish enough to drink and drive they will drink and drive regardless of where they buy alcohol
"OPP reminding drivers that there are serious consequences to a serious crime" ..... not seeing it. There appears to be no substance to this statement. Because it just keeps happening.
I'm MADD! There MUST be tougher consequences!! I know a woman whose husband was killed instantly on his bicycle in broad daylight. No other cars around. His wife was expecting her third child in one week. Three fatherless children, and one widow in account of these selfish sots. She never even got jail time. Community " service" doesnt bring back the dead person, nor is it justice! Time to change our laws!
One of the parts of Ramadan is fasting, which means no food or alcohol. The Holiday season from early December to the beginning of January is a statistically proven period of increased alcohol consumption. It has nothing to do with religion. You can let go of the persecution complex.
943 DUI charges since Nov 21 alone. You can be sure hundreds, if not thousands, more just got lucky and weren't pulled over during that time frame, adding up to THOUSANDS of people driving impaired every year on Ontario's highways. This is completely unacceptable, and it's dismaying that there are still so many selfish and irresponsible people doing this. The existing penalties/deterrents for DUI are not nearly strong enough. I think the police should be able to confiscate the vehicles of anyone caught driving over the limit, as well as imposing mandatory prison sentences.
You really need to get out more. Impaired driving is happening every day by thousands upon thousands of Canadians. I know of many people who have admitted to driving with a buzz on. Sad but true, unfortunately.
"The number is sobering" - sorry, kinda found that an interesting choice is words. Impaired driving is absolutely everywhere in Ontario, for years and years police aren't/weren't doing enough to combat it.
I'm sure too. I saw a man the week before Christmas at a birthday party. He's likely an alcoholic like too many. He had far too much to drink, and I'm quite certain he drove himself home. There's no excuse for this selfishness.
So willing to give up your right to travel unmolested, you actually WANT military checkpoints around in Canada like a 3rd world country. You people are a *DANGER* to a free society. Go move to a dictatorship please, leave TF alone!!
When poverty rises, substance abuse rises. It's symptomatic. Education and consquences are not cures for a crumbling society - people need meaning and hope.
If you are drinking just dont drive.Take a cab or public buses.Driking and driving is a criminal code offense and can cost you not just licence supension but your passport and criminal record to bar you from employment.
Change your plates and tint the windows!!!! And your in charter violation by demanding breathalyzer without any reasonable reason for the detainment. Show your license and don’t answer questions!!!
An increase in impaired driving charges but no increase in the penalties incurred such as mandatory jail time (3 to 7 days) and tripling the fines and suspending licenses on first offenses from anywhere to two weeks to 6 months. If you want to stop DUI's you got to get tough with these driving drunkards....
About time police started cracking down on drinking and driving. Casinos, bars, hotels, clubs, sporting events should have ride then checks youde get 100 a night. Soo many bars over serve and dont ask if driving.
Idk that it deters anyone i mean theres laws for everything and people still commit all kinds of crimes ...to stop everyone just to make sure no one is driving impaired isnt too far off from entering everyones house to make sure no illegal activity is occuring or making every pedestrian empty their pockets in case they have a weapon
Curious what portion of the “impaired” drivers were suspected of cannnabis use. More and more unjustified cases from a flawed policy. Watch Fifth Estate documentary “Driving High”.
If you want to drink, take a taxi, or have a DD, or drink at home. The 0.08 BAC is pretty reliable in identifying drunks. They have NO business on public roads.
I bought a breathalyzer out of curiosity and if I'm above 0.05 I wouldn't have tried driving anyway because I do actually feel impaired. No idea how accurate the one I bought was.
Passive breathalyzers are mandated by 2026 in the US I think. I do have a problem with it however. You could get stranded in freezing weather after spilling washer fluid in your car.
Why in this day and age ate you still drinking and driving stop take a cab walk home but stop doing this period and look at new people dying cuz of this
Seems like people are slow learners and a lot of people can’t live without drinking. I’m sure some of those caught driving impaired were the same self righteous jerks that got mad at me for not wearing a mask during Covid.
2 weeks in jail 1st Impaired charge 1 year driving suspension 2nd offense 1 year in 5 year driving suspension 3rd offense 5 years in jail life time driving suspension. Injury or death sentences triple no chance of obtaining drivers license
But no charges laid against anyone who stole millions of dollars from green slush fund?
Priorities mate,,,
This would involve the RCMP not the OPP! However, I agree they have failed in their duty to investigate and lay charges for numerous conflicts of interest, theft and fraud!
if you get bail the same day for stealing a car, who cares what a DUI charge will do? they just keep on driving, that is Canada for you,.

I strongly agree, plus buying alcoholic beverages anywhere doesn’t mean that the buyer will drink irresponsibly…
Just saying.
alcohol is the most mind altering drug and its accepted too much by society.

Cannabis is much worse.

Why don't they ever do this for Ramadan??? Only for Christmas.......this is an attack on Christmas and Christians
Easy...because Muslims , good ones, dont drink. And Muslims are still in the minority in Canada
Ontario man, you ain't no god fearing Christian.

Idiots being idiots. MUSLIMS DON'T CONSUME ALCOHOL... LET ALONE DURING EID OR RAMADAN.
Stop watching FOX POGO NEWS and DAILY CN WIRE
Muslims aren't allowed to drink, and Christians apparently do plenty of it. Don't drink and drive.
How about those idiot drivers that got their licenses online ? (sort of saying)
Jeetmillion
We can send millions of dollars to Ukraine why not free rides
Why can't they take responsibility for their own actions .
Billions to Ukraine
You have a typo . It’s “billions” not millions . Billions we send to Ukraine
Why would we give drunks free rides when we have homeless?
And only half of them were intoxicated the rest were targeted...
It also says the fines are not enough
Do like Scotland. Alcohol tolerance is ZERO! You drink, you are no longer eligible to drive.

unless you're one of the people that's struck by one of those 945 losers.
Bill C46 the two hour rule .
My question is why such harsh punishment for this and blowing someone away theyre out on bail 25 mins after ?
Exactly. Mainly because of one special interest group
increase the fines and penalties by 200% or 300%
There needs to be more RIDE programs through out the year and not just Christmas

Ban cars.
Nobody NEEDS a fully automatic assault car with a high capacity transmission
Its scary to think of how many impaired drivers are out there. 😮
Just take their license and make the fines in the thousands. Itd stop real quick.
Absolutely no exuse in 2024

i wonder how many of these drivers were actual impaired. Probably hardly any but the dirty cops got some free money.
It says the arbitrary BAC that is irrelevant and baseless needs to go... sobriety tests should be limited to coordination tests...
