SGI says 330 impaired drivers were charged in February, including 262 Criminal Code charges and 67 roadside administrative suspensions. Police also stopped 409 drivers with suspended licenses.

The Crown Corporation says, in spite of significant progress, impaired driving is still the leading cause of death on Saskatchewan roads.

SGI and law enforcement will focus on impaired driving again in May, September and December.
The March Traffic Safety spotlight is on distracted and drowsy driving.

Police placed a secondary focus on licensing and registration in February, catching 409 suspended or disqualified drivers and issuing 459 tickets for driving an unregistered vehicle. Getting caught driving an unregistered vehicle will lead to a minimum $580 fine. Driving while suspended results in an automatic court summons and, in many cases, will result in your vehicle being immediately impounded.

The Rest of the Big Four
In February, law enforcement also reported:
4,917 tickets for speeding or aggressive driving offences;
402 tickets for seatbelts and child restraints being used incorrectly or not at all; and
664 tickets for distracted driving (including 585 tickets for cellphone use).
