Southern Georgian Bay OPP stopped more than 1700 vehicles and 140 snowmobiles during this year’s RIDE program.
Officers patrolled roadways and trails in North Simcoe over the past month.
Over 120 separate RIDE stops were held by the detachment’s officers to help curb impaired driving.
Those on the trails were also focusing on complaints from community members in regard to safe operation and properly equipped snowmobiles.
Five notices were issued for improper mufflers, and several snowmobilers were caught without appropriate permits and licencing, as well as operating without insurance.
