The RCMP released the quarterly provincial impaired driving statistics this morning.

The RCMP say they charged 184 drivers with impaired driving-related offences from January 1 to March 31, 2017.

RCMP go on to say they responded to 19 crashes involving serious injuries and seven fatal crashes during the same time.

They add they have suspended the licenses of 88 people for operating a motor vehicle while having consumed alcohol.

Inspector Dan Murchison says in a news release they hope releasing the information will keep the topic top of mind for drivers in Nova Scotia.

RCMP says they will now release these stats every quarter.
