Nova Scotia RCMP say they charged 125 people with impaired driving offences in December.
In the numbers released Wednesday, RCMP said 55 of those charges involved impaired driving involving alcohol and seven were drug-impaired infractions. Fourteen of the charges were refusing the breathalyzer, while 49 people had their licences suspended for driving while impaired.
RCMP say impaired driving investigations can be complex, especially when they involve both alcohol and drugs. Refusing a breathalyser can result in the same penalty as impaired driving.
The Mounties say you should call 911 immediately if you see somebody driving erratically or unsafely.
