Regina, SK (Dec. 2, 2020) \u2013 With the holiday season upon us, December\u2019s Traffic Safety Spotlight is focused on impaired driving. SGI asked some of our friends what they are asking Santa for.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I wish no one would drive impaired. And if they\u2019re planning to consume alcohol or drugs, I hope they also plan for a safe ride home.\u201d \u2013 Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: I wish every vehicle we pull over at our checkstops has a sober driver behind the wheel, so we can wish them \u2018Happy Holidays\u2019 and send them on their way.\u201d \u2013 Cpl. Andree Sieber, Regina Police Service.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year I hope that people will remember that impaired driving charges come with vehicle impoundments, licence suspensions, and there are stiff fines and possible jail time upon conviction.\u201d- Community Safety Officer Lisa Robertson, Weyburn Police Service.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I wish friends don\u2019t let their friends drive after having a few of those boozy eggnogs.\u201d \u2013 Cst. Harlovepreet Gahrha, Prince Albert Police Service.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I hope that someone decides to be a good wingman and prevents an impaired friend from driving off, even if that friend insists they\u2019re only driving a short distance.\u201d \u2013 Cst. Jarren Senchuk, Estevan Police Service<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I hope people call a designated driving service, or a rideshare, or a taxi, or a sober friend to bring them home safely.\u201d \u2013 Cst. Kris Kluz, Saskatoon Police<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I hope people remember that there is zero tolerance for drug-impaired driving. If that Christmas baking contains cannabis, don\u2019t drive after eating it.\u201d \u2013 Cst. Harmandeep Singh, Moose Jaw Police Service.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, we hope there are no serious collisions that we need to respond to, so we can leave the flying to you and the reindeer.\u201d \u2013 Raegan Gardner, STARS Nurse and Clinical Educator.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: I hope this holiday season, I don\u2019t have to operate on you or your loved ones because of a drunk driver, or drunk driving. Happy holidays, and happy New Year.\u201d \u2013Dr. Jagadish Rao, trauma surgeon.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I hope I won\u2019t have to knock on a family\u2019s door to tell them that someone they love was killed because of impaired driving.\u201d \u2013 Cpl. Marsha Shaw, RCMP.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Santa: This year, I wish that no more names get added to our memorial wall.\u201d \u2013 Heather Tatham, MADD Regina, whose husband was killed by an impaired driver.<\/p>\n
From all of us, please have a very happy \u2013 and safe \u2013 holiday season. Take care out there.<\/p>\n
