As residents prepare to say good-bye to summer, MADD Canada is urging everyone to keep themselves and one another safe by never driving, riding or boating impaired.
If your weekend plans include alcohol, cannabis or other drugs, you are being asked to please put the keys away and leave the driving to someone sober.
MADD Canada’s first National Survey On Driving After Alcohol, Cannabis Or Illicit Drug Use, released earlier this summer, showed that a disturbing number of people drive knowing they are likely impaired by the substance, and frequently have passengers with them.
Everyone can do their part to prevent impaired driving, and the devastating crashes that can result, this holiday weekend by never operating a car, boat, ATV or any other vehicle while impaired, never riding with a driver who is impaired and calling 911 to report suspected impaired drivers.
