VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Expect to see police road-checks across the Lower Mainland tonight and extra officers on the street. Police are advising you to plan ahead, or get a taste of BC's tougher drinking and driving penalties.
Constable Jana McGuinness with the VPD says there are options. "Transit's free after 5 p.m., so take it, use it. Use designated drivers or try and book accommodation in town if you know you're going to be out doing some drinking tonight."
In Vancouver alone, there will be nearly 200 extra officers on the streets tonight. The VPD expects to catch nearly two dozen impaired drivers.
