HOLIDAY BOOZING

Cops step up stops

HOLIDAY SEASON traffic
enforcement programs are
being intensified by all police
forces in British Columbia,
effective immediately, At-
torney General Brian Smith
and Alex Fraser, Minister of
Transportation and
Highways announced
recently.

The Attorney General
noted that impaired driving is
the most prevalent crime in
Canada

“Our provincial police
departments are bolstering
their regular forces and step-
ping up their Counter Attack
enforcement program to help
curtail what is an extremely
dangerous, and often lethal
crime,”’ Smith said.

**Police will be using every
available officer and resource
to step up roadblocks and
carry out saturation traffic
patrols during the months of
December and January and
BATmobiles (Breath
Analysis Testing Mobile

vans) will be used extensively

throughout the holiday
season.’
Drivers apprehended at

road blocks will be charged if
their blood alcohol reading
exceeds .08 per cent.

Smith pointed out that,
upon first conviction, drivers
face an automatic six-month
driving prohibition, a fine
and a criminal record.

Fraser noted that, under
the Motor Vehicle Act, pro-
hibition from = driving is
automatic upon conviction of
a Criminal Code impaired
driving offence. He also
painted out that the Act
allows the police to
immediately impose a road-
side suspension on any driver
who ts suspected of
impairment.

**Fhat 24-hour suspension
is reported to the Motor
Vehicle Superintendent, who
on checking the driver’s
previous record, may _ in-
crease the period of suspen-

sion,’’ Fraser said.

Smith added, ‘‘Those con-
victed in the past have
discovered the hard way that
losing their driving licences
has affected their jobs, fami-
ly lives and social activities.
Six months is a long time to
be without a driver’s licence
as it creates a number of pro-
blems: no driving to and
from work, no driving
children to school, no shopp-
ing, no visiting friends over
the holidays. In short, one
has none of the mobility to
which one is normally ac-
customed, unless of course
there is somebody else to do
the driving.”’

Driving after drinking re-
mains a critical factor in traf-
fic fatalities and =  injury-
causing collisions.

“If you plan to drive at all
during the holiday season —
don’t drink. If you do drink,
use public transportation.
Just remember — none for
the road,’” Smith said.

recently Stadium General
Manager Harry Renaud, and
the Recreation Vehicle
Dealers Association Ex-
ecutive Vice President, Sid
Manning, applauded the
move to the dome and the ex-
pansion of the show.

*‘Our Stadium is ideal for
this equipment and outdoors
type show and we expect to
attract many more consumer
and trade shows over the next
few years,’’ Renaud said.

Manning who is also show
manager said the 1984 event
had been broadened with the
outdoor aspect and this
would boost its appeal to a
wider range of people.
