Operation Impact 2004 results
ORILLIA — As the Thanksgiving long weekend
came to an end, so did Operation Impact 2004
and the results are in from the OPP.
Despite the fact Operation Impact is the only
traffic initiative that involves the collective
enforcement efforts of police services across the
country, police say a number of Ontario drivers
ignored the rules of the road during the long
weekend.
Seven people were killed in six separate colli-
sions on Ontario roads during the long weekend.
Of the seven people who died, police say three of
them were not wearing seat -belts, two of the
fatalities involved speeding and alcohol was a
contributing factor in at least one of the fatal col-
lisions.
Over the long weekend, the OPP handed out 84
drinking and driving charges to impaired drivers.
The OPP also laid more than 4,500 speeding
charges over the weekend.
Absence of seat -belt use was another target
area of enforcement during Operation Impact and
the OPP laid a total of 347 seat -belt charges.
The OPP would like to tip their hats to the many
Ontarians who were conscientious about safe dri-
ving habits over the long weekend. They would
also like to caution everyone who was charged
that breaking road safety laws is a recipe for
tragedy.
