The New Brunswick RCMP recently conducted a traffic enforcement initiative across the province for National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day.

On December 6, 2025, members of the New Brunswick RCMP conducted traffic enforcement operations across the province for National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day. There was a total of eleven checkpoints throughout New Brunswick, and police checked a total of 1179 vehicles.

Of the 1179 vehicles checked, one driver was charged for driving while impaired by alcohol and one driver was charged for driving while impaired by drugs. Both drivers received immediate roadside license suspensions. Four additional drivers received immediate roadside license suspensions for driving while impaired by alcohol.

“Every impaired driver taken off the road has the potential to prevent a tragedy,” says Cst. Luc Picard of the New Brunswick RCMP. “Our enforcement efforts are focused on protecting the safety of all road users and reminding drivers to make responsible choices before getting behind the wheel.”

The public can assist in keeping dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or a suspected impaired driver, call 911. Your description of the driver, vehicle, licence plate number and direction of travel can assist police in making New Brunswick roads safer.
