Saskatchewan has made progress on lowering the number of people killed and injured from impaired driving accidents and SGI’s goal is to keep it going.
That’s why the SGI August traffic safety spotlight is impaired driving.
CEO of the Auto Fund, Penny McCune, says fewer deaths is positive news, but the only acceptable number is zero.
In 2019, 21 people died in impaired driving accidents while in 2018, there were 43 deaths.
In the first 6 months of this year, there were nearly 2-thousand impaired driving offences reported by police.
