Ontario Police Crack Down on Street Racing | Ottawa News

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Ontario police just smashed a record with over 2,400 Highway Traffic Act charges and 118 Criminal Code charges in their Project Erase crackdown on street racing — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Last year, excessive speed caused 75 deadly crashes across the province, and in Peel alone, four deaths and two life-altering injuries happened in just 10 days. Peel police led the charge with nearly 1,400 tickets — including over 100 for stunt driving — while the province sees speeding as a persistent threat. Charges are up 30% in Peel thanks to a focused road safety push. Police urge everyone to report dangerous drivers and warn that consequences include massive fines, license suspensions, vehicle seizures, and even jail time. No thrill is worth a life lost.
