During the campaign, officers will be highly visible as they conduct RIDE initiatives 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the public are reminded to plan to not drive when planning to drink or consume drugs. There are many alternative options to remove impaired driving from the picture, such as a designated driver, taxi, or staying the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s really simple &#8211; choose to be responsible this holiday season. If you can&#8217;t drive sober, just don&#8217;t drive. If you suspect an impaired driver, make that lifesaving call and dial 9-1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the consequences and penalties of driving impaired <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mto.gov.on.ca\/english\/safety\/impaired-driving.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs continue to pose a significant threat on our roads.
