Make Your Voice Heard!
Canada has an opportunity right now to introduce a new anti-impaired driving measure which will save hundreds of lives and prevent thousands of injuries each year.
Random breath testing is a roadside breath screening test to detect impaired drivers. It is used mainly at stationary checkstops where every passing driver is required to stop and give a breath sample. Drivers remain in their cars, and the process is routine, quick and causes minimal delays for sober drivers.
Random breath testing is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective means of deterring impaired driving. It has been adopted in New Zealand, Australia and most European countries, and has helped to reduce overall road crashes and fatalities.
Canada needs random breath testing to deter those individuals who continue to put others at risk by driving impaired.
