Kelowna police dole out prohibitions, suspensions

[Castanet News]

Central Okanagan police rolled out their CounterAttack program recently and found plenty of cause for concern on area roads. Their road block efforts resulted...

I am so glad that I no longer have to worry about going through an alcohol roadside Counter attack since I quit drinking 2 and a half years ago.

Albeit any numbers are bad, but really how about some context. I mean 2 prohibited drivers, two 90 day suspensions, one three day immediate road side prohibitions. Any of those could be for any number of reasons, not just framed as drunk drivers.

WOW ! Lots of Bad Boys ,Whatcha gonna do! And they will come for you .And they did . ! Being a Volunteer Fire Rescue / Ambulance for a few years make a person realize how stupid drinking / drugs and driving is . Seen a few carnage . No violations for 56 years but drove slightly over the speed limit except school zones , The four without insurance concerns me , Was it because of no stickers anymore ? OR lack of money in these tough times ? Cheers ?

They are mandated (financially and statistically motivated) at this time of year to improve their numbers . If your fart smells bad enough , you're getting a 24hr for alcohol .

I wish they would stop more commercial drivers
They drive way too fast through towns

They should be doing this on a regular basis. Problem drivers don't just sit at home waiting for the holiday season, New Year's Eve, school openings, etc. to go out and drive while breaking the rules. Maybe if they did this more often there would be less carnage on the roads. They got this many drivers in a very short period of time. How many would they get if they were doing this all the time?

From the way people drive in Kelowna I think many are impaired.

Yup . Many immigrant truck drivers are totally impaired by stupidity and a complete lack of common sense.

From the way people drive in Kelowna I think many are impaired.

So many drivers are high as *bleep* on our roads but I have never heard of anyone getting an impaired charge cuz of drug impairment. They need to change that because so many traffic fatalities are caused , not just by alcohol, but hard drugs too .
