Operation Winter Guardian Traffic Update

As the RCIPS Holiday Safety Operation Winter Guardian continues, road safety and traffic enforcement remain a key area of focus, with heightened visibility and increased vehicle checkpoints. Over the course of the operation, between 11 and 22 December, officers conducted over 300 vehicle stops. During this time, a number of traffic prosecutions have taken place, including:

-Over 120 for speeding.
-Over 100 for expired or otherwise illegal registration.
-Approximately 30 for various other offenses.

The public is being reminded to practice safe driving habits, which not only means following the rules of the road while driving, but also ensuring that you and your vehicle have met all the requirements for being on the road, including having valid registration and insurance, and a valid driver's license.

We ask you all to work with us to help make our roads safer, and avoid facing prosecution and financial penalties this holiday season. Every bit of safe driving you practice, can help to save lives
