OXFORD COUNTY - Impaired driving numbers from the Festive RIDE campaign are up this year in the West Region, which includes Oxford County.

This year's campaign may be over, but OPP West Region members will continue their efforts to educate the public and enforce Ontario's impaired driving laws. Ontario citizens are reminded to do their part during the campaign by never driving after consuming alcohol or drugs and never letting anyone else drive if you know or suspect that they have consumed alcohol or drugs.
If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1.
