ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE TAKING PART
IN ANNUAL NATIONAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK CAMPAIGN
(Caledon, Ont.) – All 165 Ontario
Provincial Police detachments, including Caledon
are taking part in the annual Canada Road
Safety Week campaign aimed at making our roads the safest in the world.
This year’s campaign runs from May 13 to May 19, 2008.
“The goal of Canada Road
Safety Week is to increase public compliance with safe driving measures and
ultimately to save lives,” OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino said. “We will be targeting aggressive
drivers, those who drink and drive and those who don’t buckle up. We will also be watching for motorists who
don’t slow down and, where possible, move over when passing an
emergency vehicle parked on the shoulder of the road with its emergency
lights flashing.”
Last year in Ontario,
451 people were killed in crashes on roads patrolled by the OPP. Transport Canada
statistics for 2006, the last full year available, indicate that 2,889 people
were killed in collisions across the country and another 15,281 were
seriously injured.
The annual Canada Road Safety Week Campaign proactively
raises the motoring public’s awareness of the importance of safe driver
behaviour and supports the national long-term goal of reducing fatal and
serious injury collisions and making Canada’s roadways the safest in
the world.
