The Middlesex OPP continues every day to focus on the “big four†risk behaviours which include aggressive driving, distracted driving, impaired driving and occupants not wearing safety restraints. These are the leading causes of injuries and deaths on Ontario roadways. The OPP will continue to use both enforcement and education to help curb the rise of accidents and the unnecessary loss of life.
