Two Guelph men were arrested for impaired driving on the weekend, including one who was driving a rented vehicle.
Approximately 7 a.m. Saturday, an officer was patrolling near Speedvale Avenue West and Kathleen Street when he observed a vehicle travelling at a high speed and changing lanes without signalling. The vehicle was stopped and the officer detected an odour of alcohol.
After failing a roadside breath test he was transported to the police station, where further tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system. A 32-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving and dangerous driving. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Just before 5 p.m. Saturday, a vehicle was caught on radar travelling 87 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Clair Road West. The officer spoke to the driver and asked him to perform a roadside breath test, which resulted in a fail. Further testing at the police station confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
A 47-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving and speeding. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his rented Ford Bronco was impounded for seven days.
