Thunder Bay, ON – Wednesday, February 16th 2011, Thunder Bay OPP Officers conducted several seatbelt compliance spotchecks across the Thunder Bay OPP detachment area. Officers stopped approximately 150 vehicles and issued 4 Offence Notices for seatbelt infractions.
T/S/Sgt Ken Mantey states “In 2010, 21 people were killed on North West Region Roadways, with 14 people not wearing their seatbelt. Although statistics across the province reveal a high compliance rate, regional statistics reveal that 67 % of the people involved in fatal collisions in 2010 were not wearing their seatbelts”
