RIDE Program Out in Force

The Ontario Provincial Police kick off their 2009 Holiday RIDE campaign today.

The Province wide initiative will wraps up on January 2.

Constable Dave Cain says holiday party guests shouldn't feel their only option is to drink and drive.

"We're reminding the public that there is no excuse for drinking and driving," says Cain. "There are many other ways to get home whether you take a cab or arrange ahead of time for a designated driver."

Last year, OPP laid more than 300 impaired driving charges on Ontario's roads.
