Operation Impact

People trying to jam in one more weekend at the cottage or hit too many Thanksgiving dinners should be careful.

The Ontario Provincial Police will be out in force during the holiday weekend.

They say ``Operation Impact'' is part of a Canada-wide initiative to catch unsafe drivers.

Police will be focusing on impaired driving, aggressive motorists and seatbelt violations.

The national road safety initiative is aimed at saving lives and reducing serious injuries.

A total of 243 people have been killed in accidents so far this year on OPP patrolled roadways.
