Summer is off to a notoriously busy start in the impaired driver issue for the Oak Bay Police Department.
Officers took three drivers off the road in the first three days of the department’s summer check stop program.
Parked along Beach Drive near Windsor Road on June 29, police nabbed the first impaired driver just after 10:30 p.m. The 58-year-old driver was issued a 90-day roadside prohibition and the vehicle she was driving was impounded for 30 days.
