Windsor police have charged a driver with impaired-related charges after an incident on Wednesday.

Just after 7 p.m., police were on patrol and saw a vehicle near Tecumseh Road East and Lincoln Road allegedly swerving in and out of its lane, almost hitting another car.

A traffic stop was done and police said they saw signs of impairment and smelt an alcoholic drink.

A 35-year-old man is now charged with operation of a motor vehicle while impaired, refusal to comply with a breath demand, using a plate not authorized for vehicle, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, and failing to surrender a driver’s license.

“As we head into the holiday season, the Windsor Police Service urges everyone to make responsible choices on the road,” it wrote on social media.

“If you plan to drink, plan a safe way home. Impaired driving puts lives at risk; don’t let one decision change everything.”

The public will see more officers through Windsor and Amherstburg until Jan. 1.
