Okotoks RCMP say it seems motorists are getting the message when it comes to impaired driving over long weekends.

Over the Canada Day Long Weekend RCMP had multiple check stops set up in the area, and not one impaired driving charge was laid.

RCMP Sgt. Sukh Randhawa says although no impaired charges were laid, police still caught 16 violations via check stops.

While there were no impaired drivers caught at check stops over the weekend, this number does not include general responses from RCMP.
