If you got a ticket for speeding or not wearing your seat belt this long weekend, you are not alone.
The OPP charged over 1,000 people for not wearing a seatbelt during the Long Weekend.
OPP detachments, including Oxford County wanted to make sure everyone was buckled up for their safety. One positive from the Long Weekend, is we did not have a single fatality on the roads during the four days. Officers across the province did their part by issuing over 10,000 tickets for various safety infractions across Ontario. The number one offence committed by drivers was speeding, with more than 6,400 speeding charges laid.
During last year's long weekend seat belt campaign, officers laid over 1,500 seat belt charges, more than 6,500 speeding charges and close to 11,000 traffic-related charges overall.
The weekend charges serve as an important reminder to drivers and other road users that when the OPP targets one particular behaviour during a traffic safety campaign, officers are highly committed to and well-resourced for enforcing all traffic laws.
