Two Guelph males were arrested for impaired driving-related offences during daytime stops on the weekend.
About 8:10 a.m. Saturday, a Guelph police officer on general patrol noted a motor vehicle driving very quickly on Woodlawn Road West near Imperial Road North. Radar confirmed the vehicle was travelling 92 km/h in a 60 km/h zone and the vehicle was stopped.
The officer detected a strong odour of alcoholic beverage on the driver’s breath. After failing a roadside test, the driver was taken to the police station where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

Then on Sunday, about 12:20 p.m., an officer driving on Speedvale Avenue East near Stevenson Street North noted a motor vehicle in front of him being driven in an erratic manner and pulled it over.
The driver refused several opportunities to provide a breath sample.
A 50-year-old Guelph male is charged with refusing to provide a breath sample and driving while suspended. His driver’s licence was immediately suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for seven days. He will appear in a Guelph court July 9.
