Can count off several sightings of radar either on the hwy or in speed transitions zone but when was the last time anyone can remember seeing or being stopped in a Ride Check??

A 55-year-old man has been arrested for impaired driving causing death after a man was killed in a a two-vehicle collision on Highway 401 in North York on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called just after 4:30 on the westbound collector lanes of Highway 401, near Keele Street for reports of a collision.
When crews arrived, they located one person trapped inside a vehicle.

Something needs to be done and I fear things will only continue to get worse now that weed is legal.

My wife hired a summer intern at work and the intern's cousin (university student) was killed by a drunk driver in Collingwood a couple weeks ago.

I don't know if alcohol was involved (but it was late at night) but it sounds like stupid aggression caused the fatal truck/Corvette/Mazda crash on the 401 last week.

It’s only getting worse. People simply don’t care anymore. It’s all about “me me me”. You know how many times I catch people looking at their cellphones? Weed and alcohol just makes things worse.

I am am truly scared for our children.

Would be quite happy to see more ride checks... Been a few years since I was stopped at one. Although, I recall I didn't agree with the 'warn range' thing when that came out.

The come and collect a breath sample from you up to 2 hours after arriving at home is BS

This is a shocker! I'll bet many are not even aware of this new law.

They should treat distracted drivers with the same depth as impaired.

Yeah so on Friday I drive home, put the car in the garage knowing I won't be driving again that day and crack open 4 beers and chug them... I can get a DUI?

A drunk driver may see double, but at least he is looking at the road.
A distracted driver isn't ever looking at the road!

Both are equally dangerous.

^^^What I get from that is: don't open your door if you are drunk at home.


Very poorly written legislation designed to close a loophole.

Seems pretty easy to fight in court... but you can thank trudeau's "legal weed" for that obvious human-rights violation. I'm human, and I have the right to get wasted to fuck AFTER driving.

I’m going to say no. I think it’s if someone suspected you of driving while drunk and they arrive and your hammered then ya kinda of thing.

The drunk always survives.

I just found out the identity of the driver that was killed. He was the same age and grade as me, I remember Paul from high school.

RIP Paul Brizzi
