On The Road - Victoria Day Weekend

Arrive Alive

As you prepare to head up to cottage country this weekend remember to fasten your seat belt, slow down and arrive alive.

As part of this weeks (May 16th to May 23rd 2011) Canada Road Safety Week the OPP will be targeting distracted drivers. While most believe this only applies to using handheld communications devices it covers a much broader spectrum of distractions. Activities such as: adjusting the radio, watching an entertainment monitor, drinking or eating are just some of the activities that can land you in hot water.

Penalties for distracted driving range from $110 fine up to $2000, a possible license suspension of up to 2 years and or a jail term of up to six months depending on the charges laid.

Almost 10,000 Charges Laid In 2010

OPP officers laid a total of 9,806 charges for speeding, careless driving and seat-belt offences and 190 charges for criminal drinking and driving offences during Canada Road Safety Week in 2010
