Kindersley RCMP Remind Drivers Not to Drive Distracted
The Kindersley RCMP and SGI would like to remind the public that this month’s traffic safety focus is distracted driving and fatigue.
Both SGI and the RCMP are encouraging drivers to put their phones away when driving. SGI reports that distracted driving is the number one contributing factor in collisions overall and one of three top contributing factors in fatal collisions. SGI and the RCMP would also like to remind the public that if you are finding yourself drowsy behind the wheel to consider getting safely get off the road, admit you are tired and find a place to nap or if possible switch driving with another licenced driver in your vehicle so that you can rest.
Kindersley RCMP would like to inform residents that after some technical difficulties with its fingerprinting machine that it has been fixed and is back up and running. If you are in need of non-criminal fingerprints the Detachment does these every Wednesday between the hours of 8am and 4pm. For fingerprinting and criminal record checks you need two pieces of government identification; preferably a driver’s licence and Saskatchewan Health Care card. The Detachment would like to thank everyone for their understanding and patience during the outage.
