Saskatoon Police arrested or suspended more than a dozen drivers in the city on New Year’s Eve.
In a series of tweets the police said 14 drivers “did not ring in the New Year with a smile.”
Two drivers were arrested, one for exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit and one for failing to give a breath sample. Twelve were suspended for exceeding the 0.04 blood alcohol limit or testing positive for cannabis.
The arrested drivers — and three suspended drivers who had Learner or Novice licences or who were under the age of 22 — had their cars impounded for 60 days, while nine of the suspended drivers lost the use of their vehicles for three days.
