Can you spot an impaired driver? Halton police release video of swerving vehicle

Halton police have released video of a vehicle driving erratically in an effort to raise awareness about impaired driving.

The dashcam video appears to show a vehicle swerving in and out of the live lanes of traffic before mounting a curb. A Halton police officer turns on their lights and the vehicle eventually pulls over.

Halton police say the incident happened in November 2021 in the area of Louis St. Laurent Ave. and Kennedy Circle in Milton.

They say a woman was arrested and charged with operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs and failure or refusal to comply with demand.

Police say the woman was the only person inside the vehicle when it was pulled over.

If convicted, drivers who refuse to provide a breathe sample can face a $2,000 fine, seven-day vehicle impoundment, 90-day license suspension and a criminal record.
