"Fast & Furious 6" enhanced enforcement campaign

Toronto Police Service News Release

Media advisory, Friday, May 24, 2013 to Sunday, May 26, 2013, "Fast & Furious 6" enhanced enforcement campaign

Friday, May 24, 2013 - 11:48 AM
Traffic Services:  416-808-1900

Traffic safety continues to be identified as a Toronto Police Service priority. This weekend, the Toronto Police Service will be focusing on four major road-safety categories

1) Impaired driving (by drug or alcohol)
2) Occupant restraint (including child-safety restraint systems)
3) Aggressive driving (including speeding, racing and stunt driving)
4) Distracted driving (including eating, drinking, and using hand-held devices)

This weekend, "Fast & Furious 6" arrives in theatres. This movie continues to maintain a following of individuals who believe that the operation of vehicles similar to the way the vehicles are operated in the movie is acceptable and without consequences.

As a result, Traffic Services will be increasing enforcement throughout the Toronto area, focusing on driving behaviour that puts all road-users at risk. Additional enforcement teams and R.I.D.E. patrols will be utilized to ensure that all road-users are protected from this type of dangerous driving behaviour.

For those drivers using Toronto roads, take note: if you make a choice to drive impaired or drive aggressively, and choose to risk the safety of all road-users, we will be there, and we will stop you.

Anyone witnessing a driver risking the safety of all road users is asked to contact police at 9-1-1.
