Local police were kept busy over the recent "Canada Road Safety Week".
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say - from May 12th to 18th - officers were out on local roadways as part of the campaign, designed to increase public compliance with safe driving measures and to target behaviours that put motorists, passengers, and pedestrians at risk, particularly impaired, distracted, or aggressive driving and lack of seatbelt use.
During the campaign, local officers laid 80 speeding charges, three more for stunt driving, two for careless driving, and a charge of impaired by alcohol.
OPP remind drivers to practice safe driving habits, particularly as traffic increases during the summer months.
