In addition, Caledon OPP officers responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on King Street, near Emil Kolb Parkway, in the Town of Caledon. During that investigation, officers formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.

As a result, Anila RIZVI, 45, of Barrie, was charged with:

In Ontario, alcohol-impaired driving is one of the leading causes of death on the roads. You can face criminal charges if your blood alcohol concentration is 0.08 or more. You can also face charges if you are in the “warn range”, meaning your blood alcohol concentration between 0.05 and 0.079. It is also important to note that Ontario has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to driver’s consuming alcohol that are; age 21 years or younger, a driver of any age who holds a G1, G2, M1, or M2 licence, while driving a vehicle that requires an A-F driver’s licence or Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR), or while operating a road-building machine.

If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
