This afternoon, the BC Association of Chiefs of Police, the B.C. Government and ICBC will be announcing the launch of the Summer CounterAttack Impaired Driving Campaign.

The Vancouver Police Department will be out in full force, taking impaired drivers off the road at CounterAttack road checks to make sure your family makes it safely home. Throughout July and August, police will be reminding drivers to plan a safe ride home, before they have their first drink.

“Slip on a shirt, slop on the sunscreen, slap on a hat and plan a safe ride home,” says Acting Inspector Ken Eng of the Vancouver Police Traffic Section. “Use a designated driver, take transit or call a cab if you plan on enjoying the warm weather while consuming alcohol.”
