OPP after speeders LUCAN - Ontario Provincial Po- lice in Lucan began a speeding and seat belt enforcement initiative on September 21 in response tto com- plaints about traffic speed and viola- tions on Main Street at the north - end of Lucan. Officers will be continuing an in- creased enforcement for speeding and shat belt violations in an at- tempt to slow traffic along High- way 4 through the Village. Since last Thursday, 21 speeding and sev- en seat belt charges have been laid and this selective patrol will be con- tinuing. Officers will not be issuing any warnings and Lucan OPP De- tachment is asking motorists to ad- just their driving habits to avoid be- ing stopped in Lucan. Forty-six investigations were con- ducted during the week. Fourteen of these occurrences involved criminal matters such as two break and en- ters, three thefts and harassing phone calls. Four wilful damage complaints were also received. Lucan and area residents are warned that petty thefts and mis- chief are again increasing in the area. There were no impaired drivers stopped during the week but six per- sons were charged with Liquor Li- cence Act violations. The remaining investigations involved matters of a general nature such as false alarms and driving complaints. There was a total of six motor ve- hicle collisions reported. All in- volved property damage only except -for a minor single vehicle accident in the Hyde Park area where the driver complained of minimal inju- ries to his neck. To continue our impaired driving information, this week's article will concentrate on the Breathalyzer. The Breathalyzer was developed in 1954 and has been extensively used by police in several countries., includ- ing Canada, since that time. The in- strument operates using an ethyl al- cohol sensitive solution which changes colour if alcohol is passed through it. Your breath is collected and then bubbled into the solution. After the solution changes colour, is colour is compared to that of a sealed container (ampoule) and measured by a photometer. The dif- ference ifference in colour between these two solutions is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in your breath. The amount of alcohol in your breath relates directly to how much alcohol is in your blood. If a police officer gives you a de- mand to do a Breathalyzer test, you are compelled by law to do so. The results of these tests are accurate and have wide acceptanceby the courts in Canada. A Breathalyzer reading of 100 milligrams or more will. result in charges of driving over the legal limit. Impaired driving, as stated in past articles, does not necessarily re- late to Breathalyzer readings so low readings can still result in charges being laid. Next week, we will discuss how alcohol actually affects you. Off to good start LUCAN - St. Patrick has had a good start to another school year.
