It primarily targeted the “Big 4” offences (speed/aggressive drive, distracted driving/impaired driving and seatbelt usage) which are the most common contributing factors to death, serious injury and property damage on our roads and highways.
This enforcement initiative is a direct response to community concerns about unsafe driving practices in the community and was conducted in conjunction with “Black Cat” speed studies in the area.
Officers also conducted a RIDE Check in the community along with proactive patrols at local elementary schools at the beginning and end of the school day.
Officers laid a total of 39 charges during the course of the initative:
15 Speeding
9 Disobey Stop Sign
4 Failure to Properly Wear Seatbelt
1 Distracted Driving
1 Failure to Stop for Red Light
8 Other Provincial Statutes
1 Operation of an unsafe vehicle
