The new charges bring the total for this year’s campaign to 77; after four weeks last year, 73 impaired driving charges had been laid.
During the week, officers stopped 1,542 vehicles and demanded 132 roadside breath tests. In addition to the impaired charges, police issued 19 three-day licence suspensions to drivers who registered warning levels.
