Manitoba Expands Ignition Interlock for Impaired Drivers
The province will require ignition interlocks for all convicted impaired drivers once their licenses are suspended, effective December 15. First time offenders face one year interlock, with progressively longer terms for repeat offenses, as Manitoba leads in crackdowns on drinking and driving according to Justice Minister Andrew Swan. MADD Canada backs the approach, citing reduced deaths, injuries, and recidivism.
