Due to this year's snow- fall, operators are using the trails extensively. Most operators obey the rules and are courteous, but every year through- out the province injuries and deaths on the trail occur due to careless- ness. The driving concerns along the trails mirror those of the highways. Speeding, impaired oper- ation and aggressive dri- ving including following too closely and unsafe passing are the areas of concern. Middlesex OPP will con- tinue to patrol area trails to enforce th provincial and criminal statutes. Elliott's St Auction Inc.
