Hundreds of charges in weekend road safety campaign
Provincial police laid hundreds of charges during a long weekend blitz targeting dangerous drivers on London-area roads.
Police conducted Operation Impact over the Thanksgiving weekend, a crackdown on distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding and seatbelt use.
Officers stopped more than 270 vehicles in Middlesex County, laying more than 440 charges, 160 of them for speeding, and issuing 55 warnings from Oct. 11 to Oct. 14, police said.
In Oxford County, the OPP charged four drivers with impaired driving on the Thanksgiving weekend. Officers stopped about 100 drivers and issued 100 charges and warnings.
“Drivers should make a commitment to adopt safe, defensive driving behaviours and always drive within the law,” OPP said in a statement. “Passengers and the public in general can help by adopting an intolerance of poor driving behaviours, recognizing the serious risk they pose to road users and engage in conversations about safe driving with their families, neighbours, and other people in their communities.”
