Sunshine Coast RCMP frustrated with impaired drivers

Impaired driving continues to be a problem for the Sunshine Coast RCMP.

In the month of October, the mounties have already handed out immediate roadside prohibitions for 19 drivers. And out of the 19, 15 of them were given 90-day driving prohibitions and their cars were impounded for 30-days.

“I don’t know what’s going on but, this is not acceptable,” Said Staff Sergeant Poppy Hallam.

“There’s a lot of proactive work being done by our officers but these results are disappointing. Especially during this day and age, with the transportation options that we have.

Hallam also said these offences are not happening during the middle of the night when public transportation is not available.

So there are no excuses, she is disappointed but she said she’s happy her members are addressing this issue.

If you’re caught driving impaired whether it’s under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you can face some jail time, get a fine and also have your car impounded.
