As we come up on the Canada Day long weekend, many of us are excitedly making plans for some well-deserved relaxation and adventure.
MyFM sat down with media relations officer Constable Kevin Martin of the Ontario Provincial Police, and he shared some valuable insights and reminders to ensure a safe and enjoyable long weekend for everyone.
Constable Martin says that the most important thing every driver should do, is expect delays,
He also says that staying safe in the water is also something that everyone should keep in mind, especially if they’re out on a watercraft.
Drivers in a hurry should think twice, says Constable Martin, as there have been an increase in drivers operating vehicles over 50km/h higher than the legal speed limit.
OPP will be out in full force throughout the weekend enforcing safe driving practices for everyone.
The responsibility for safety on the roads lies with each individual driver, and Constable Martin emphasized the importance of being prepared, cautious, and responsible while enjoying our well-deserved break.
