With scores of families and other people heading out on roads for the last long weekend before the start of school, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is counting on all motorists to be exemplary drivers this weekend and commit to doing so throughout the year.
With 239 lives already lost on OPP-patrolled roads this year, now is as critical a time as ever for drivers to recognize the direct link between the loss of a life on our roads and a driver who makes poor decisions and takes careless actions behind the wheel.
Close to 50 per cent of this year's road fatalities were attributed to drivers who were speeding, inattentive, alcohol/drug-impaired or not wearing their seatbelt
