The OPP is urging drivers to stay vigilant this Civic Day long weekend. When you see emergency vehicles or tow trucks on the roadside, police ask you to remember to slow down and move over a lane when it’s safe.
OPP say it’s not just the law—it's crucial for keeping emergency workers safe as they assist others.
OPP will be closely monitoring for compliance and keeping an eye out for aggressive, distracted, and impaired drivers.
They’ll also be checking for seatbelt use, as these factors are major contributors to road fatalities. Drive safely and be attentive this weekend.
