OXFORD COUNTY - West Region OPP kick off their “move over” campaign.
The enforcement is meant to keep first responders safe on roads and highways. The enforcement blitz between started today and will continue until February 16th. The campaign is focusing on drivers who don’t slow down or move over for emergency vehicles parked on the side of a highway.
Since 1989, five OPP officers have been killed on the road when they or their vehicles were hit by oncoming traffic.
Ontario’s law states that if a driver is driving on a road with two or more lanes, the driver must change lanes to provide first responders a safe space. If you are driving on a one lane road, the driver is required to slow down and proceed with caution as they pass.
Failure to comply with the “Move Over” law comes with a $490 to $2,000 fine plus three demerit points.
Four drivers in Oxford County have been charged under the legislation during today's blitz.
OPP will announce all results at the end of the campaign.
