Impaired Driving charge results in impounded vehicle

A local woman has learned the hard way about Ontario's new, tougher drinking and

driving laws.

The OPP say over the weekend a 23 year old male and a 19 year old female had their
licences suspended after registering a warning on a roadside breath test.

The 19 year old driver also had her vehicle impounded for seven days.

Under new legislation, there is a zero tolerance level for alcohol for
drivers 21 and under.

The new laws went into effect back in December.
