It’s a daunting task and one the RCMP takes very seriously in keeping our roads safe.
Operation Impact is in full swing over the course of the long weekend and officers from coast-to-coast will be conducting random spot checks as they look for impaired and unsafe drivers.
Trained eyes will be busy watching the whirl of traffic pass them by on city streets and regional highways.
Officers are looking for signs of impairment, speeding and even distracted driving.
“Anything that is going to impact the safety of drivers and pedestrians on the road” said RCMP Constable Jason Curtis. “Everyone has someone that is going to be on the roads. We’re out there to try and protect everyone”.
