Seatbelt Infractions Highest In Five Years

The Ontario Provincial Police has released the results from its Easter Long Weekend Seatbelt Campaign, and the results are not pretty.

The OPP say officers laid 1,524 seatbelt charges across the province between March 30 and April 2, a five-year high for an Easter long weekend.

There have been ten deaths on OPP-patrolled roads so far this year where the driver or passengers were not buckled up.

The penalty for not wearing your seatbelt is two demerit points and a fine of $240.
