Drinking and driving remains the number-one criminal cause of death in Canada. In Ontario, approximately one-quarter of all road fatalities are alcohol-related. More than 16,000 people in Ontario a year are convicted criminally for drinking and driving-related offences.

The Toronto Police Service recognizes the danger that drinking and driving poses to all of our citizens and is vigilant in our measures to recognize, intervene and deal with those people who endanger us all.

This weekend, the Toronto Police Service will increase efforts to protect the community with multiple R.I.D.E. programs and patrols targeting those offenders. Our message is, and always will be, "If you drink, don't drive."

We would also remind everyone that choosing a responsible option to driving is the first step. Public transit, designated drivers, taxis and hotels are all excellent choices.

It is also worth noting that walking while intoxicated is extremely dangerous to personal safety. Many pedestrians have been seriously injured or killed while walking, stumbling or falling into traffic.

If you see someone who appears to be, or you know is, driving, or about to drive impaired, call 9-1-1. The life you save could be one of your loved ones.
