Between Friday, April 2, 2021, and Monday, April 5, 2021, members of the OPP will be participating in a Provincial Traffic Safety Campaign with an emphasis on seatbelt compliance.
Road users should expect to see a much higher volume of traffic in the Quinte area over this upcoming Easter long weekend.
This makes it a particularly important weekend for all drivers, passengers, and young children to be properly restrained within a vehicle, regardless of the duration of the trip.
Everyone travelling in a motor vehicle must properly wear a seatbelt and children must be properly secured in a child car seat.
Drivers are responsible for ensuring all passengers under the age of 16 are properly secured in either a seat belt or child car seat.
Failing to ensure seatbelt compliance, could result in a fine totaling $240 and two demerit points.
Members of the OPP are committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.
