SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY – The South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) utilized all available officers to participate in Operation Impact from Oct. 6-9.
Operation Impact is a Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police-led traffic safety campaign that targets aggressive, distracted and alcohol/drug-impaired driving, as well as seat belt non-compliance.
South Bruce OPP members charged 48 drivers during this traffic safety initiative.
Of the drivers charged, 35 were issued speeding tickets, and two were issued charges under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
Officers also attended two motor vehicle collisions during the holiday weekend. Both were classified as property damage only.
“The traffic safety campaign has ended, but the members of the South Bruce OPP will continue patrolling area roadways to deter risky driving choices that put the safety of others at risk,” said police in a media release.
