Provincial Police continue to crack down on dangerous drivers.

Authorities say just over 2100 vehicles were pulled over between July 31 and August 3 as police focused on speeding, failure to wear a seatbelt, distracted driving and impaired driving, all behaviours that contribute to traffic collision deaths, injuries and property damage.
In all, 856 speeding charges were laid across the region, as well as 178 seatbelt infractions and 45 charges for impaired driving.
Officers in Elgin County, who also cover provincially-patrolled roads in Chatham-Kent, laid 51 speeding charges, 16 seatbelt charges, and seven charges for impaired driving.
Meantime, in Lambton County, OPP officers charged 32 drivers with speeding, nine for seatbelt offences, and two impaired driving charges
