UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The SD&G Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police OPP responded to 26 Motor Vehicle collisions during the heavy snowfall from Wednesday February 7, 2018 to Thursday February 8, 2018. The SD&G OPP is reminding motorists to take the time to prepare themselves and their vehicles for safe winter driving during the winter months.
A leading cause of collisions that occur during the winter months is poor driving, not poor driving conditions.
Drivers play an important a role in keeping winter roads and highways safe; the winter months are a particularly important time to stay focused on the road and on other vehicles, and eliminate all distractions.
Slow down, stay alert and stay in control – these simple steps will go a long way in reducing the number of winter weather-related collisions on our roads.
