Irving Oil Drivers Trained To Identifty Drunk Drivers

Irving Oil and MADD Canada teaming up for the Red Ribbon Partnership that gets drunk drivers off the road.

MADD Canada reps, local police, and the RCMP training over 100 Irving Oil fleet drivers to identify and report drunk drivers.

Former MADD President Margaret Miller tells CHSJ News it's a natural partnership because truck drivers are on the front lines and making that 911 call to report an impaired driver can save many lives.

According to Police Chief Bill Reid, almost half of drunk drivers caught in the city are the result of 911 calls.
