Peel, ON 01May07 - In our ongoing effort to address aggressive and unsafe driving behaviours, the Peel Regional Police-Traffic Services Bureau, will be commencing the spring “Project Safe Driver” campaign on Saturday, May 5th, 2007, running until Sunday, May 27, 2007.
The Safe Driver campaigns have become a tradition within Traffic Services and are designed to emphasize both education and enforcement elements of road safety. Building on the success of previous initiatives, motorists can expect to see an increase in police presence on the roads enforcing traffic laws at specific locations throughout the region. This increased enforcement is in addition to the work carried out daily by the dedicated officers of all 5 Peel Regional Police Divisions, who will be working in conjunction with Traffic Services to target some specific behaviour.
During the course of this spring’s campaign a number of enforcement priorities will be addressed. These include:
Speeding
Improper turns / lane changes
Aggressive driving actions
Vehicle safety checks for passenger and commercial vehicles
Impaired Drivers
The involvement of the public is essential to road safety. Individual decisions on the part of drivers to obey traffic laws, keep their vehicles in good repair, and to use safety equipment appropriately can have a positive impact on everyone using the roadway. The Peel Regional Police would like to remind all road users that “Road safety is a shared responsibility and it starts with you”
For further information, please contact Constable Jodi Dawson of the Media Relations Bureau at (905) 453-2121 ext. 4027.
Police say street racing rings have advanced so far that they’re now trying to gather counterintelligence on officials, break into their computers, and find out when shift changes are scheduled and where and when they should race.
“Some of them have scanners, we’ve found them in the back parking lots with hi-tech computer equipment trying to break into our encryption codes for our laptop computers,” said York Police Sgt. Dave Mitchell.
What the… Yeah… it’s those crazy street racers again. This sounds like some kind of whack bs from a movie.

Last night was intense. I went from Bolton to Maple to Woodbridge and then reverse that route. I saw at least 25 cops. 10 of which where at Highway 7 and 27 ish Tims.
