• Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs
The Dufferin OPP reminds motorists that alcohol and drugs are a deadly combination when driving. Plan ahead if you are consuming alcohol or drugs. Use a designated driver, taxi, rideshare, public transit, or arrange to stay overnight. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impair your judgment and reaction time. In a split second, poor decisions can result in tragedy.
Members of the Dufferin OPP remain committed to public safety through proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.
