OPP seek accident help The Ontario Provincial Police are seeking the help of parents and teachers to reduce the number of accidentsinvolving teenagers drinking and driving after end -of -term celebrations over the next couple of months. Graduations, school dances and field par- ties are just around the earner. The OPP wants to convince the partygoers that drink- ing and driving can cause senseless death and injury. • The provincial police are concerned with a wide variety of traffic safety problems, but prevention of unpaired driving is a priority item because this persistent social problem brings on untold hurnan suffering and a tremendous financial cost to society. During 1985, International Youth Year, it is the special objective of -the OPP to have the young people of our province experience the safest motoring possible this spring and summer. To accomplish this objective, OPP Com- rnissioner Archie Ferguson is asking for a co-operative and concentrated effort by parents, educators and law enforcement le truly of- ficers to help our young people understand the perils of drinking and driv- ing. While police officers have .a definite role in enforcing anti -drinking and driving laws, educators can contribute by encouraging discussion on the subject of drinking and driving as part of the graduation prepara- tions: Parents can use their influence to en- courage their children to exert pressure on their .peers. The glamour and excitement wrongfully associated with alcohol con- sumption and driving has to he removed. Commissioner Ferguson said; "OPP of- ficers will do their part through their ongo- ing vehicle spot check program, rd'king a special effort to deter our youth frorr drink- ing and driving. With parents and teachers sharing 'the respoirsibility, we'll save lives and stop accidents."
