Snowmobile charges laid
February 18, 2015 · 0 Comments
Over this long weekend, officers from the OPP were patrolling the freezing cold snowmobile OFSC trails within the detachment area.
Officers met 220 snowmobiles during their patrols, and the snowmobile operators were checked for sobriety, and safety/administrative compliance. There were very few who warranted being charged and all were sober. This is great news, and the OPP is happy to report a successful long weekend on the trails.
Summary of the few charges laid: 1 Driving while under suspension; 1 Speeding offence; 1 Expired validation.
The OPP and OFSC share the same goal of making snowmobiling a safe and enjoyable recreational activity for people throughout Ontario.
On top of the patrols that the OPP officers’ conduct on the trail system, the OFSC S.T.O.P. volunteers maintain and know their OFSC trail systems well. The OPP values the expertise and knowledge they contribute to helping us ensure that snowmobile enthusiasts are acting responsibly and within the law on OFSC Trails.
