With people getting set for what is traditionally one of the busiest weekends of the year, the OPP is also gearing up for a busy Canada Day long weekend on Ontario roads, trails and waterways.
In particular, the OPP will be keeping a close eye out for people who display aggressive driving behaviour, whether in a motor vehicle, boat or all-terrain vehicle.
In addition to speeding, following vehicles too closely, improper lane changes, weaving in and out of lanes and a general disregard for traffic laws are all forms of aggressive and dangerous driving behaviour.
As they have done in the past, the OPP will be looking to every motorist, boater and trail user to partner with them for a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Over and above aggressive driving, the OPP will be watching for: seat belt compliance, distracted driving, impaired driving, compliance with “Move Over” laws, and use of boating safety equipment such as personal flotation devices.
