Police are preparing for an increase in traffic during this Thanksgiving long weekend…
Operation Impact begins today (oct11) and runs through to Monday (oct14).
The traffic safety campaign targets speeding, distracted driving, and seatbelt compliance.
The OPP indicate that most tragedies are preventable and caused by careless behaviors such as driver inattention…something that has risen by 40 percent compared to last year.
Authorities indicate so far this year, 296 individuals have lost their lives in collisions on OPP-patrolled roads.
