OPP Lay Over 6,900 Charges During Long Weekend Blitz

Over 4,200 speeding charges laid.

It was a busy long weekend on the roads for OPP. 

Police responded to five road fatalities this weekend, and laid over 6,900 traffic charges. 

More than 4,200 charges were laid for speeding. 

Hundreds of charges were also laid for impaired driving, stunt racing and distracted driving. 

The OPP also conducted enforcement and education around the province's Move Over Law. 

The law requires motorists to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles and tow trucks that have their emergency lights flashing. 

The OPP says charges were laid against dozens of drivers who failed to obey the Move Over Law.
