Prince George RCMP took a dozen drivers off the road while patrolling the vicinity of two gatherings over the weekend.
The count included five 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions with 30-day vehicle impounds,issued for allegedly driving with a blood-alcohol level over 0.08, and three three-day impoundment for a first offence of driving with a blood-alcohol level between 0.05 and .08.
Two 24-hour driving prohibitions, with impounds for that period, were issued for "reasonable and probable grounds" of driving while impaired and one driver was issued a seven-day impoundment for excessive speeding.
RCMP were keeping an eye on 15th Avenue and Ospika near the Cariboo Rocks the North classic rock festival and Chief Lake Road near the Nitro Motor Sports Park where a drag racing event was being held.
