Four drivers are without their vehicles after being stopped by RCMP Traffic Services West this past weekend, two of whom now face charges of impaired driving.

At approximately 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, police stopped an unregistered vehicle on High Street in Deer Lake. The driver, a 41-year-old Reidville man, was also operating his vehicle without insurance.  He was issued summary offence tickets and his vehicle was seized and impounded.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., on March 3, police stopped a speeding vehicle on Nicholsville Road in Deer Lake and determined that the vehicle was uninsured.  The driver, a 20-year-old Deer Lake man, was ticketed and his vehicle was seized and impounded.

About an hour later, police stopped an unregistered vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway in Deer Lake. The driver, a 38-year-old Cormack man, showed signs of alcohol impairment and failed a roadside breath test.  He was arrested for impaired driving and provided further breath samples back at the detachment that were one and a half times the legal limit.   The man was released from custody, was ticketed for operating a vehicle without registration or insurance and will appear in court at a later date to face charges of impaired driving. His vehicle was seized and impounded.

Later that same afternoon, shortly after 2:00 p.m., police stopped a known suspended driver on Upper Nicholsville Road in Deer Lake. The 56-year-old Deer Lake man showed signs of alcohol impairment and failed a roadside breath test. He was arrested for impaired driving and provided further breath samples back at the detachment that were one and a half times the legal limit.
