waterways this Labour Day long weekend that officers will out in full force
targeting aggressive drivers and marine operators who are not wearing their
seatbelts, who fail to have proper marine safety equipment, particularly life
vests/personal floatation devices (PFD’s) and people who continue to
drink and drive either a motor vehicle or marine vessel. “A moment’s inattention can result in injury
and death,” states Inspector Mark Andrews – Traffic and Marine
Commander, North East Region.
“Drivers are drifting across the centre line for whatever
reason, possibly distraction or fatigue and slamming into oncoming
traffic. Drivers seem to let down
their guard in sunny weather and are less alert to what’s going on
around them.” “Certainly most of the attention has been on texting
and driving, but there are a host of other distractions including cell phone
calls (both handheld and hands-free) as well as more traditional ones such as
eating, adjusting the radio, using the CD player or talking to
passengers” says Staff Sergeant Wes Moore – Sault Ste. Marie OPP
Detachment. “Drivers need to be reminded to manage these distractions
safely.” For most children in Saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and
