Law enforcement issued 356 tickets last week, including seven charges for impaired driving, during a province-wide traffic safety blitz.
Operation Overdrive, targeting impaired driving, took place May 8 and 9 across the province. It coincided with a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) event in Weyburn, which focused on seatbelt, cell phone and aggressive driving violations in addition to impaired driving.
Combined, Operation Overdrive and the Weyburn STEP event resulted in a total of 356 tickets, including:
7 impaired driving charges
102 seatbelt violations
34 cell phone violations
38 speeding violations
76 stop sign violations
99 various other infractions
SGI's role in these monthly blitzes is to help raise awareness of key traffic safety issues in the province, with the goal of making our roads safer for all road users.
