Over the Thanksgiving long weekend the OPP joined its policing partners for Operation Impact, a national campaign focusing on impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and lack of occupant restraint – what police call “the Big Four”.
“Big Four” deaths this year include: 52 speed related (38 reported in 2013), distraction-related 49 (71 last year), (lack of) seat belt-related 38 (51 in 2013) and alcohol-related 35 (61 in 2013).
