Scored this off CP24 this morning. I know it goes without saying but it doesn't hurt to remind everyone to ride safe......er then usual.
A gut-busting meal of turkey and stuffing isn't the only Thanksgiving tradition Ontarians can expect this weekend.
As usual on a long weekend, police officers across the province will be hunting for motorists who run afoul of traffic laws.
As part of an annual Canada-wide safety initiative named Operation Impact, police agencies are stepping up enforcement and awareness to prevent fatal and injury collisions.
From Friday to Monday, Ontario Provincial Police officers will be looking for impaired drivers, aggressive drivers and distracted drivers, in addition to people to ignore seatbelt and child restraint laws.
In addition to enforcement during the four-day campaign, OPP are bringing an educational component urging people to become safer drivers.
"With Thanksgiving being an early fall long weekend, people see this as another opportunity to use our roads, waterways and trails," Chief Supt. Don Bell, commander of OPP's highway safety division, said in a statement. "We have already seen far too many fatalities and serious injuries over the 2011 long weekends and we are counting on every person in Ontario to make this long weekend the safest one of all."
Operation Impact coincides with the OPP's fall seatbelt campaign, which runs Oct. 7 to 17.
