KIRKLAND LAKE - On May 20, 2019, members of the Kirkland Lake Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wrapped up their participation in the Canada Road Safety Week.
The campaign focused on the high risk behaviours known as the "Big Four" which include impaired, aggressive and inattentive driving as well as the lack of seatbelt use.
The following are the results of this year's campaign for the Kirkland Lake OPP detachment:
- One alcohol impaired driving charge
- One drug impaired driving charge
- One stunt driving charge
- 39 speeding charges
While the Canada Road Safety Campaign has wrapped up, the OPP wants drivers to keep safety in mind at all times when enjoying Ontario's roadways, waterways and trails.
