Drinking and driving is a serious problem. In Ontario, impaired drivers are involved in thousands of traffic collisions every year. About one quarter of collisions resulting in fatalities on Ontario’s roads involve drinking drivers. Drinking and driving hurts us all - through deaths, injuries and personal tragedies, in addition to costs for health care, emergency response and property damage.
Every year, about 35,000 drivers are under suspension for Criminal Code convictions in Ontario. It is estimated that approximately three quarters of those convictions are related to drinking and driving.
*In addition to drinking and driving, Criminal Code convictions include criminal negligence causing bodily harm or death, manslaughter, dangerous driving and failure to remain at the scene of a collision.
