(CENTRAL HURON, ON) – On August 4, 2012 just after 2:00 p.m. a Huron County OPP officer stopped a Chrysler Intrepid on Bayfield River Road near Orchard Line. Upon speaking with the male driver, officers noted the driver had been drinking alcohol. A 43 year old male driver from Bluewater was issued a 30 day drivers licence suspension following a “warn†test result at the roadside. The penalties for warn range suspensions escalate from 3 days for the first time, 7 day suspension for the second time to a 30 day suspension for the third time.
