continue in Huron County
(HURON COUNTY,
ON) - Huron County
Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) officers have been
very busy with their Fes-
tive Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere
(RIDE) checkpoints dur-
ing the first two weeks of
the annual campaign. A
total of 116 checkpoints
have been set up through-
out the county.
The increased number
of checkpoints and height-
ened public awareness
during the Festive RIDE
campaign is intended to
help to keep Huron
County roadways as safe
as possible. With that
being said, a small per-
centage of drivers still
continue to take unneces-
sary risks and endanger
others on the roadway.
Here are some of the
