Members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services unit issued 50 tickets between April 9 to 15.

Thirty-three of the tickets were for exceeding the speed limit, and another ticket was for exceeding the speed limit by more than 35 kilometres per hour.

Five tickets were for having tinted front side windows. Two tickets each were for disobeying a stop sign, drivers failing to wear a seatbelt and motorists driving without a valid licence.

Single tickets were for not having valid registration, failing to move to the right when approached by an emergency vehicle, a child not having an appropriate restraint device, a vehicle having excessive damage to a windshield and a vehicle having an obstructed licence plate.

Police also issued 40 warnings and 11 inspection notices.

In the early morning hours of April 16, members of the traffic unit were on patrol in the Carnduff area. A vehicle was stopped so officers could administer a sobriety test. It was determined the driver had been consuming alcohol.

A breath sample demand was given to the driver, who refused to co-operate and provide a proper breath sample. The motorist was subsequently charged with refusing to provide a breath sample and was released for a future court date in Estevan.
