******************

The traffic safety message this Canada Weekend is very simple and straight to the point – SPEED KILLS, SLOW DOWN!

Over the last few weeks police have responded to a number of violent, multi-vehicle crashes that have left many people dead and many more injured. Aggressive driving behaviour, mostly speeding, is often the cause.

Statistics show that the Canada Day Weekend is notorious for its traffic death toll having more fatal collisions that any other holiday weekend.
