Police are gearing up for a busy Civic holiday weekend. West Parry Sound OPP will be looking for drivers to follow Ontario’s Move Over law which applies to all motorists who are approaching a police vehicle, fire vehicle, or ambulance in the same direction of travel, stopped on the roadside, with its lights flashing. Failure to do so can result in fines from $400 to $2,000 and three demerit points for a first offence. Officers will also be highly visible on the water and on trails, laying charges against people who show a disregard for public safety while boating or off-roading this weekend. Detachment Commander, Staff Sergeant Ron Campbell asks those travelling in the Detachment area, whether it is on area roads, waterways or trails, to exercise caution and courtesy getting to and from your destinations.
