The Perth County OPP wants to remind motorists that during the Labour Day long weekend officers will be out on Perth County roads looking for irresponsible drivers. Many behaviours do not mix with driving, such as speed, aggressiveness, intoxicating substances, distractions, unsafe vehicles and fatigue, just to name a few.
Don't jeopardize everyone’s safety by taking chances out on our roads.
