As a result, Perth County OPP laid numerous driving charges, including 82 for speeding, three for stunt driving, two for seat belts, one for distracted driving and 14 for other Highway Traffic Acts offences.
One impaired driver was charged and five drivers were charged for insurance act offences. Perth County OPP also laid 18 charges related to hazardous moving violations.
Perth County OPP, Sgt. Scott Bentley says these incidents were a main focus over the holiday weekend.
