OPP RIDE program begins The Ontario Provincial Police Christmas/New Year R.I.D.E driver check program began Sunday, November 15 on a province -wide basis. The OPP R.I.D.E. program is a year- round anti -impaired driving campaign, stepping up for eight weeks during the peak of the festive season. The two-week extension of the Christmas/New Year R.I.D.E. blitz, which ran for only six weeks prior to last year's program, has proved effective in screen- ing twice as many motorists, and getting hundreds of impaired drivers and liquor law violators off the roads. Impaired driving is still one of the most significant factors in approximately half of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in- vestigated by the OPP. "The OPP R.I.D.E. progra-rn is an essen- tial means of reducing the risk of accidents and fatalities on our highways at any time of the year," said OPP Commissioner Ar- chie Ferguson. "They potential for danger has tradi- tionally increased during the Christmas season, and for this reason the OPP will place a high priority on taking impaired drivers off the road," the Commissioner added. In last year's Christmas/New Year R.I.D.E. blitz, OPP officers checked 357,167 drivers across the province and charged 1,193 people with alcohol-related Criminal Code of Canada driving offences. A total of 2,938 motorists were taken off the road with 12 -hour licence suspensions and 1,595 people faced Liquor Licence Act charges for having alcohol easily accesible to the driver. The OPP will operate a minimum of 40 R.I.D.E. check locations across Ontario every day, stopping more than 20,000 vehicles weekly. All available manpower, aided by aux- iliary members, will be committed to the R.I.D.E. program during the two-month Christmas/New Year blitz. "The OPP R.I.D.E. checks may in- convenience the motoring public, but we will keep the delays down to a minimum," said Commissioner Ferguson. "Our main purpose is to save lives and prevent ac- cidents and it is in everyone's best interest that we stop impaired driving," said Com- missioner Ferguson.
