(LONDON, ON) - Members of the West Region OPP have wrapped up Operation Safe Driver, an annual campaign designed to improve traffic safety for commercial motor vehicle operators and passenger vehicle drivers, alike.

From July 12-18, officers issued 143 charges across 13 detachment areas, targeting the lead contributing factors in commercial motor vehicle collisions, such as speeding, improper lane changes and following too closely.

Featured charges include:

• CMV inspection and maintenance: 30

• CMV Defective equipment/equipment: 8

• CMV permits, plates, driver's licence: 25

• CMV Disobey sign: 18

• CMV Speeding: 25

• CMV Seatbelt: 11

• CMV Distracted driving: 6

• CMV Careless driving: 4

"It's every driver's responsibility to share our roads safely," says traffic inspector Mike McConnell, West Region OPP traffic safety and marine manager. "This is critical when large commercial vehicles are present. Poor driving behaviours on the part of both commercial and non-commercial operators can lead to serious consequences and lengthy delays on major highways."
