Relations 705-742-0401 -30- Provincial Summary:
Spring Seatbelt Campaign Annual province-wide
campaign by police services comes to an end ( The OPP, which is responsible for about 70 per cent of the
province’s highways, laid 10,753 charges against drivers, 4,481 charges
against passengers and charged 274 drivers for not having a probably
installed child restraint. Last year, 117 people were killed on roads patrolled by
the OPP as a result of not being buckled up, a 14.7 per cent increase over
2006. So far in 2008, 27 people not wearing seatbelts have died on
OPP-patrolled roads, a 28.9 per cent decrease over the same time last year,
when 38 people had been killed as a result of not being buckled up. “Ontario has one of the highest compliance rates for
seatbelt use of any jurisdiction in North America,” OPP Commissioner Julian
Fantino said. “But there are still drivers out there who don’t
seem to get it. We had four people die during the campaign because they
weren’t buckled up. The few seconds it takes to buckle up could be the
difference between living and dying if you are involved in a serious
collision.” In one incident,
OPP stopped a passenger van in which 12 of the 15 people in it weren’t
wearing seatbelts. The law calls for vehicles to have one seatbelt for each
passenger seat. The OPP was also
checking for improperly installed child restraints or young children who
weren’t in car seats at all. A properly used child seat reduces a
child’s risk of injury in a motor vehicle collision by as much as 75
per cent, yet as many as 80 per cent of child car seats are used incorrectly. Municipal police
services across the province were also involved in the seatbelt campaign. Contact: Cst. Gordon Klingspohn #9592 Media
