South Shore: Mounties Ramp-Up Holiday Checkstops

Mounties will be out in full force this weekend. In Shelburne County, RCMP say they will ramp up checkpoints in an effort to nab impaired drivers. It's part of National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day on Saturday. Corporal Nancy Mason says it's an effort to ensure the roads are safe.



Mason says getting caught driving while impaired is life altering - a conviction means you would be left with a criminal record, fined and lose your license. RCMP are urging motorist to dial 9-1-1 if they suspect an impaired driver.
