Superior East OPP Urge Safe Driving Over Thanksgiving Weekend

Ontario Provincial Police are reminding drivers to be safe this long weekend - and warning they'll be out there looking for anyone who isn't.
Superior East OPP Constable Trevor Tremblay notes police will be focusing on the "Big Four" factors in fatal collisions - aggressive, distracted, or impaired driving and lack of proper seatbelt use - though he's highlighting one in particular.

Constable Tremblay also warns against tailgating.

Constable Tremblay also notes the weather is changing - with a little bit of snow recently - so drivers should beware frost or snow on the roads, and consider putting on winter tires.
While the annual Operation Impact campaign is held this weekend, OPP note they've responded to 209 fatal motor vehicle collisions across the province this year, with 224 deaths - speed is noted to be the leading causal factor, with the OPP noticing a nearly 30% increase in excessive speeding this year.
