The OPP joined North American road safety partners for Operation Safe Driver last week, laying a total of 6,049 charges on OPP-patrolled roads.
The week-long traffic safety campaign targeted commercial and non-commercial vehicle drivers who failed to share the road safely, with a focus on speeding.
Speeding dominated the offence categories among non-commercial drivers, with 3,687 speeding charges laid. In contrast, there were 145 speeding offences among CMV drivers, which also led the list of charges for this driver class.
Among other CMV driver charges were 110 document-related offences, 104 for moving violations, 45 defective equipment-related and 21 speed limiter charges.
Officers took 19 CMVs off the road during the initiative.
