SK - Operation Overdrive back as part of Canada Road Safety Week
The second Operation Overdrive traffic safety blitz, focusing on impaired driving, will be part of Canada Road Safety Week, from May 14 - 21. This week-long initiative is an annual collaboration by Canadian police services to aggressively enforce traffic safety laws.
Throughout the week, law enforcement across the country will be targeting the "Big 4" killers on our roads: impaired driving, improper use of seatbelts, aggressive driving and distracted driving. In addition to the week-long initiative, Saskatchewan police agencies will choose two days over the May long weekend to focus specifically on impaired driving as part of the regular province-wide coordinated safety blitzes.
"Most alcohol-related casualty collisions happen on the weekends, and these numbers are even higher in the summer months," said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. "We hope that over the May long weekend, and throughout the summer, motorists protect themselves and others by planning a safe ride home."
