Road safety is a shared responsibility. Impaired driving, along with speeding, distraction, and the improper or non-use of seatbelts, continues to be among the leading contributors to fatal and serious-injury collisions on Nova Scotia roadways. As summer travel increases, drivers are reminded to plan ahead, never drive impaired, and make safe choices behind the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To report a suspected impaired driver, call 911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
