Richmond R-C-M-P are emphasizing the importance of responsible driving during the summer months.
It's part of their summer campaign to combat impaired driving to reduce the number of incidents and safeguard all road users.
B-C sees about 61 fatalities in crashes involving impaired driving in an average year, and police say the risk of such incidents are higher in July and August.
Mounties are reminding drivers of their responsibility to maintain safety on the roads, saying driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs judgment and reaction times-- increasing the risk of collisions.
