Impaired driving reporting program expands in Saskatchewan

Report Impaired Drivers (RID), a program that encourages residents to call 9-1-1 to report suspected impaired drivers to the police, has been expanded to Prince Albert and Moose Jaw, Sask.
RID is a partnership led by SGI, SLGA and the Moose Jaw Police Service, with support from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Students Against Drinking and Driving.
The program was introduced last March in Saskatoon, before expanding in September to Regina. The program has led to 137 impaired driving charges in Saskatoon and 20 in Regina as of the end of last month.
“Drinking and driving is the number one cause of fatal crashes in Saskatchewan,” said Tim McMillan, minister responsible for both SGI and the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA).
