Ontario Provincial Police say they have stopped more drivers for stunt driving over the Victoria Day long weekend, including at least four who were stopped in Port Hope on Monday alone.
Const. Kevin Westhead said the incidents are in line with recent trends as most people stay home amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. “Because we have less traffic on the roads, I’ve definitely seen an uptick in stunt driving offences,” Westhead said.
In Port Hope on Monday, two officers were conducting speed enforcement on Highway 401 in the area of Wesleyville Road.
