If you are out on the roads, waterways and trails this Canada Day week June 26th to July 4th and see a Perth County OPP officer giving you 2 thumbs up it’s cause you supported their latest traffic safety campaign.
The police are promoting and enforcing laws around safety equipment. They will give thumbs up to boaters, off-roaders, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants they spot wearing life jackets/pfd’s, helmets and seat belts.
Annually lack or improper use of safety equipment is linked to a significant number of deaths and serious injuries on OPP patrolled roads, waterways and trails.
