DRIVING COMPLAINTS
Sault Ste Marie, Ont.,

Sault Ste Marie OPP are starting to deal with more and more traffic and driving complaints as the weather gets warmer and warmer.

Yesterday the Sault Ste Marie OPP office received seven complaints about driving actions and driving ability of other motorists. Two vehicles were found parked in the registered owners' driveways and the others were not located.

When you are travelling throughout Ontario and you wish to report the unusual or dangerous activities of any motorist, you call the O.P.P. free of charge from any cell phone by dialing *OPP (*677). We also have the toll free number 1-888-310-1122.

When reporting one of these drivers, try to obtain the type and colour of the vehicle and the licence plate. The location that you are calling from and the direction of travel for the offending vehicle is also excellent information the police can use to stop these hazardous drivers.

Aggressive driving, unnecessary lane changes, sleepy drivers and impaired drivers are responsible for most deaths and injuries in this province.

Your call may just save someone's life !!
