Ontario Provincial Police will be watching this long weekend for drivers who don't "move over" for emergency vehicles.
Given the increase of traffic for the Civic Holiday, Superior East OPP Constable Ashley Nickle says officers will be enforcing the 2003 "Move Over" law.
Reminding penalties include fines from $490-$2000 and three demerit points, Nickle notes that the law's meant to protect emergency services, as - since 1989 - five OPP officers have died while performing their duties on the side of the road, either in their vehicles or outside of them.
Constable Nickle adds officers will still be watching for the "Big Four".
Nickle urges everyone to stay safe, reminding officers will not just patrol local roads, but trails and waterways, as well.
