(WASAGA BEACH, SPRINGWATER TOWNSHIP, CLEARVIEW TOWNSHIP, ON) – As residents and visitors plan to travel and celebrate the Easter long weekend in the Huronia West area, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding everyone that its annual seatbelt safety campaign will be in full effect.
The Huronia West OPP is emphasizing the critical importance of wearing seatbelts for all occupants of a vehicle. Buckling up is not merely a suggestion but a vital safety measure that dramatically decreases the likelihood of severe injury or death in the event of a traffic collision.
As our roads become busier with people traveling to spend time with family and friends, we want to ensure everyone arrives at their destination safely. Wearing your seatbelt is the single most effective way to protect yourself and your passengers in a crash. It is a responsible choice that can make all the difference.
The OPP will be actively patrolling roadways throughout the Huronia West area during the Easter long weekend, with a focus on enforcing seatbelt laws. Drivers are responsible for ensuring that all passengers under the age of sixteen are properly secured.
The Huronia West OPP urges all motorists and passengers to make the responsible choice this holiday. Buckle up for a safe and happy Easter!
