New direction for "Operation Impact" GODERICH - The Ontario Pro- vincial Police is supporting a new endeavour of "Operation Impact", the national safety campaign which successfully promoted seat belt compliance from 1991 to 1995. The new thrust is directed at high-risk drivers. On Saturday, October 5, Ontario Provincial Police Officers of Huron County will join personnel of more than 230 police services across Canada in conducting a one -day en- forcement and education exercise. It's part of a five-year program be- ing launched this fall by "Operation Impact" targeting drivers consid- ered to be high-risk for collision. The goal is to reduce the number of practices such as following too closely; failing to obey a stop sign or signal; driving while licence is suspended, and impaired driving. Police will be performing stop - checks in several locations in Hu- ron County on the first Saturday in October, as well as hosting an edu- cational event. Five years ago, the OPP, RCMP and Surete du Quebec created "Op- eration Impact' at a time when Transport Canada reported that only 68 per cent of Canadians used seat restraints. With the cooperation of the me- dia, various citizen awareness groups, and the Canadian Associa- tion of Chiefs of Police, police ser- vices across Canada heavily pro- moted the use of seat belts and were instrumental in raising the compliance rate to 91.6 per colt by the end of 1995. The Ontario Provincial Police share the vision of "Operation Im- pact" which is to make Canadian roads the safest in the world by the year 2001, and the OPP endorses the campaign to target die high-risk driver. "Operation Impact" and the high risk driver • an effective Indicator of a high- risk driver is non-use of a seat re- straint * a high-risk driver is one likely to have control of a vehicle while impaired, and to be involved in a collision * night-time surveys by police show that as impairment levels in- crease, seat belt use decreases * impaired driving is the major cause of death and serious injury on Canada's streets and highways * 44 per cent of drivers killed in motor vehicle collisions have been drinking, according to the most re- cent data, 1993 * 82 per cent of drinking drivers who are fatally injured have blood alcohol levels above the legal limit IT'S YOUR BUSINESS Times -Advocate, October 2, 1996 Page 5 McDonation South Huron District High School teacher Jodie Baker, left, and Preslee Maver, far right, accept a cheque for $235 from Michael Enright from McDonalds Restaurant in Exeter.
