Provincial Police are cracking down on dangerous drivers on roads across the region.
The West Region OPP have launched the Drive Smart: Keep It Safe campaign, targeting stunt driving and illegally modified vehicles on the road.
Stunt driving, including speeding and aggressive maneuvers, poses a significant threat to everyone on the road-drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Every time someone engages in dangerous driving, they risk not only their own life but the lives of countless others.
Illegally modified vehicles can compromise safety through impaired visibility and handling issues. These modifications can make a vehicle unpredictable and difficult to control, leading to collisions.
The OPP have increasing patrols and conducting modified vehicle inspections focused on identifying and addressing these dangerous behaviors, with drivers facing potentially substantial fines, points on their license, and even vehicle impoundment.
