“Best case scenario, we catch you and you lose your license, worst case scenario, you kill yourself or somebody else.”
Those were the words of Const. Cory Booth of the Lloydminster RCMP during a safe sober secure impaired-driving course over the weekend.
The course was set up in the parking lot south of Lloydminster Honda as part of the Nuffsaid Society’s annual car show.
Booth explained the organizer is a former Calgary Police Service officer who works with multiple dealerships to organize the event.
Wearing alcohol or drug-impairment goggles, drivers must navigate the course while avoiding numerous pylons.
“It’s amazing people think they can do this, but once they put the googles on, they’re hitting every pylon,” said Booth.
“Impaired driving is completely unacceptable; there’s zero tolerance for it and the punishment keeps getting better and better. We keep getting new tools to combat it. I’d like to see impaired driving completely eliminated.”
