Police handing tickets to two young drivers Friday night during RIDE checks in Niagara.

Police were set up in St. Catharines during Grape and Wine Festival, and stopped about 350 vehicles.

20 drivers were asked to give breath samples, of those police say two resulted in an Alert reading, and had their licence suspended for 3-days.

Another driver under 22-years old and one novice driver with a G2 licence were ticketed for having a reading above 0.

Over a dozen other provincial offence notices were given.
