With roads about to get busier during the Civic Holiday long weekend, the OPP will have its eyes sights set on drivers who do not slow down and safely move over a lane for roadside emergency vehicles.
So far this year, the OPP have laid more than 400 charges against drivers who failed to move over one lane when able to help create safe space for police, other emergency personnel and tow truck drivers to conduct their work.
Over the long weekend, the OPP is counting on drivers to avoid other poor behaviours that place all road users at risk.
So far this year, the OPP has responded to 123 fatal motor vehicle collisions in which 132 people lost their lives. Among the fatalities, 29 deaths were linked to speed, 26 were seat belt-related, 22 involved alcohol/drugs and 20 were linked to an inattentive driver.
