NIAGARA – Some good news in the fight against drunk driving.

Niagara Regional Police say that during the first RIDE check of the year, in which 250 vehicles were stopped, they encountered no drivers who were impaired.

Officers were set up in Thorold, and of the hundreds of drivers that were stopped, only three were required to provide breath samples. All three drivers were found to have an acceptable range of alcohol and were permitted to drive away.

However, police did arrest one driver for failing to comply with their conditions. They also issued eight tickets to drivers.
