Police were out Saturday night in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines

It appears some drivers in the Niagara region still aren't getting the message about drinking and driving.

Police were out Saturday night with RIDE checks in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, and stopped about 200 vehicles.

14 drivers were asked to give breath samples, when asked if they had been drinking alcohol, or had any drugs earlier.

Police say three drivers registered Alert on the machine, resulting in a 3-day licence suspension.

Police also charged another driver for being out without a valid licence.
