Alberta Government Reminds Public That Drugged Driving is Impaired Driving
ALBERTA – The Government of Alberta and research foundations have released more data on impaired driving.
Last year in the province, nearly half of all 24-hour license suspensions were due to drug impairment
Brian Mason, Minister of Transportation, said that it comes as a surprise to many that drunk driving and drugged driving carry the same criminal charges.
“Few drivers are aware of the penalties for drugged driving and may believe alcohol- impaired drivers are more likely to be stopped by police than drug-impaired drivers.”
