SGI says impaired driving will be the focus for the May Traffic Safety Spotlight.

Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund says, “No one should ever lose their life to a poor decision made by an impaired driver.”

Preliminary stats show in 2020, 32 people died and 371 were injured because of crashes resulting from impaired driving.

In addition to alcohol and cannabis, SGI reminds drivers that any substance — legal or illegal — that alters your thinking can impact your ability to drive safely. This can include some prescription drugs.

Saskatoon Police say they will be out with check stops on Friday night.
