Each long weekend during the summer, we hear of tragedies that could have been avoided. Homes are broken into, motorists are killed or injured in motor vehicle collisions and boaters go missing. Many of these tragedies could be avoided with some careful planning, as well as driving more safely and responsibly.
Should you be going away this weekend, please ensure all your windows and doors are closed and locked before you leave. While on the roadway, obey the posted speed limits and wear your seatbelt. On the water, please make sure everyone is wearing a lifejacket. Should you be drinking, plan ahead. Don’t drink and drive.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service hopes that everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday weekend.
