Easter long weekend seatbelt campaign results – Upper Ottawa Valley
The Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) recently wrapped up their Easter long weekend spring seat belt campaign which started on April 19 and concluded on April 22, 2018. Over the course of the campaign officers conducted targeted enforcement looking for motorists who were not obeying seatbelt laws. As a result Upper Ottawa Valley OPP officers laid five seatbelt charges over the course of the long weekend.
Although seatbelt use was the main traffic focus of the weekend officers also conducted enforcement and education activities associated with negative driving behaviours including distracted driving, impaired driving and aggressive driving in order to reduce the amount of motor vehicle collisions, injuries and deaths on OPP patrolled highways. In addition to the seatbelt offences, officers laid one impaired driving by drug charge under the Criminal Code along with 48 speeding charges, four stunt driving charges, eight hazardous moving violations and three distracted driving charges under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) over the course of the four day campaign.
