Huron OPP continue Canada Road Safety Week efforts through long weekend

(HURON COUNTY, ON) - Huron County OPP officers will be continuing their traffic safety education and enforcement efforts during 2017 Canada Road Safety Week. 

The designated safety week began May 16 and runs right through to Monday night of the Victoria Day long weekend.
 
This campaign is designed to increase public compliance with safe driving measures and, ultimately, save lives. The enforcement component of the campaign targets the "Big Four" - impaired driving, lack of occupant restraint use, aggressive driving, and distracted driving. 
 
Throughout the first couple of days of the campaign, Huron OPP officers have charged 42 drivers with speeding, seven with seatbelt offences, five with distracted driving, and one with careless driving. Huron OPP is pleased to report there have been no serious motor vehicle collisions during this campaign.
 
All drivers are encouraged to do their part in making Canada's roads the safest in the world. Please drive with care this long weekend. Don't become a statistic.
