Road Sobriety Checkpoints Start On July 23rd
Road sobriety checkpoints will be conducted in seven parishes from Friday, July 23rd to Sunday, August 1st.
A police spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Police Service [BPS] will be conducting road sobriety checkpoints in 7 parishes [Hamilton parish, Smith’s parish, Devonshire, Pembroke, Paget, Warwick & Southampton] starting Friday, 23rd July through Sunday, 1st August 2021 – which includes the Cup Match holiday weekend.
“Officers from the Community Policing Division, Roads Policing Unit and the Bermuda Reserve Police will operate the checkpoints, which are in addition to general BPS patrol officers enforcing Operation Vega.
“Please plan ahead and do your part by not driving or riding impaired. If you’re intending to go out and socialise, make sure you have arranged for a designated driver, taxi or another responsible transportation service to get you to your destination safely.”
Seeing that it’s a poorly known secret that the drug trade is the 3rd pillar of our economy is there anything in place to test for ALL impairing substances ?
Does the road safety council and police even take this into consideration?
