P.A. Police talk to teens about impaired driving
Prince Albert police officers teamed up with SGI and Prince Albert’s MADD chapter this past week to warn teens about the dangers of impaired driving.
All three agencies visited students at St. Mary and Carlton High Schools, where they spoke about the risks of getting behind the wheel while impaired. Police also handed out “positive tickets” to teens who demonstrated safe driving habits.
Sgt. Travis Willie of the Prince Albert Police Service said it’s important for students to understand the message, because safe driving habits can save lives.
“If we can have even one teen think twice about getting behind the wheel impaired or texting while driving and prevent a serious accident, then it makes everything we are doing worthwhile,” Willie said.
