Speeding accounted for the vast majority of the tickets issued by members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services division during the week of July 24 to 30.
Sixty-six tickets were handed out to people exceeding the speed limit. One ticket was issued to a motorist who was travelling more than 60 kilometres per hour while passing an emergency vehicle.
The other tickets issued included: four to drivers who failed to wear a seatbelt; one to a passenger who failed to wear a seatbelt; two each for disobeying a stop sign and operating an unregistered vehicle; and one for unlawfully having window tint.
Members also gave out 18 warnings to motorists.
The Estevan RCMP and Estevan Police Service noted a fairly large number of motorists speeding on local highways prior to and during the long weekend. Both agencies are reminding motorists to slow down and arrive safely at their destinations.
