Operating a motor vehicle? Make safe choices and respect the rules of the road
A.J. Towing on scene for a 'vehicle' impound due to driver impairment. Thank you to the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP and to the person(s) reporting for helping to keep our roads safe!
Did you know?
Planes, trains, and automobiles aren't the only vehicles bound by impaired driving laws, so are excavators! And it's not often an excavator ends up on our impaired driving list, but on July 30th, that's exactly what happened.
Chilliwack RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver operating an excavator on Farmers Way. Officers attended and located the driver who was displaying signs of impairment. An investigation resulted in the driver being issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition, and the excavator was impounded for 30 days.
While excavators are designed for digging holes, impaired driving can quickly dig you into one of your own. No matter what you drive, make the safe choice and never drive impaired.
