All available members of the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) took part in an Easter Long Weekend traffic safety campaign. From April 7 – April 10, South Bruce OPP officers were highly visible on area roads watching for traffic safety violations and closely watching for seatbelt use.
During the long weekend, South Bruce officers charged 4 motorists for failing to wear a seatbelt. Other charges laid this past weekend include:
Ø 1 charge for stunt driving
Ø 61 charges for speeding
Ø 3 charges for driving while suspended
Ø 2 charges for Fail to stop at stop sign
Officers responded to 5 motor vehicle collisions over the holiday weekend. There were no injuries reported at any of the scenes.
The long weekend traffic safety campaign has ended, but the South Bruce OPP remains committed to road safety and officers will continue with traffic education and enforcement.
