The final long weekend of summer is upon us and that means police will be out in force, doing all they can to make it a safe drive on our highways.
The OPP say they will be focusing not only on the roads, but also zeroing in on our waterways and trails.
As always, they will pay close attention to drunk drivers, not to mention aggressive and distracted drivers.
Seatbelts are also an issue, including ensuring children are in proper car seats.
They advise motorists to be patient, pointing out many roads will be congested this weekend meaning you need to pay full attention to the job at hand: namely, driving.
In keeping with the times, police are also using the social media, in particular Twitter, to get their message out about safe driving.
