The police issued 75 traffic tickets in a 15-hour time period, including 60 for speeding with one person clocked at 92KPH, while two people were arrested for impaired driving.
A police spokesperson said, “Between 4:00 p.m. yesterday and 7:00 a.m. today, officers issued 75 tickets. The vast majority of those, sixty, were for speeding.”
“One person was clocked at ninety two, kilometers per hour. If that wasn’t troubling enough, there were also two arrests for impaired driving.
“As announced by Commissioner Simons, our teams will be maintaining a high visibility presence on the roads: ‘The public will see enhanced traffic enforcement. Our deployments will be guided by collision information and public complaints so that we can focus our activity where the risk is greatest.”
“We will target the behaviours most likely to lead to death and serious injury.”

- Impaired driving.
- Dangerous and careless driving.
- Cellphone use.
- Unsafe overtaking.
