RCMP are inviting the public out to learn first-hand how alcohol impacts drivers.
Mounties are employing goggles, pedals, and a driving course to educate folks to the effects of impairment at a safe-driving education event next week.
The Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) challenges participants of all ages to navigate a pedal cart while “under the influence” wearing fatal vision goggles.

The public is invited to the event at the Cultus Lake Go-cart-track, 4088 Columbia Valley Hwy, on July 31 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Impaired driving prevention remains a priority to the RCMP commitment of road safety in the community.
