The Ontario Provincial Police is kicking off its Festive R.I.D.E. campaign today.

OPP is teaming up with local police in London, Aylmer, St. Thomas, Strathroy-Caradoc and Woodstock.

Rektor says they have seen a decrease in impaired drivers, but one drunk driver is one too many.

The campaign runs through the holiday season.
