Another long weekend means another enforcement blitz by police on the roads.
OXFORD COUNTY - The Oxford OPP is joining police services across Canada this weekend for Operation Impact.
As motorists hit the highways for Thanksgiving weekend, officers will be targetting drivers who speed, are impaired or fatigued, as well as drivers and passengers who are not buckled up. 296 people have died on Ontario highways this year. Most of the deaths are linked to driver inattention, speeding, alcohol and lack of seatbelt use.
OPP are reminding motorists that keeping roads safe is a shared responsibility and that every citizen has the right to make it to and from their destination safely. Operation Impact is led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police under the leadership of its Traffic Safety Committee, in support of Canada's Road Safety Strategy 2025.
