Road safety is a top priority for Peel Regional Police (PRP) and over the course of the summer, we will continue our efforts to curb illegal street racing and high-speed driving. These efforts aim to change poor and aggressive driver behaviour and those who compromise road safety will be subject to charges and penalties.
Since the start of 2024, 15 people have lost their lives in Peel Region due to road-related incidents – all of these deaths were preventable and we are taking increased action. In the first half of this year, Peel Regional Police has issued over 20,000 Highway Traffic Act charges, including:
- 3800+ for speeding
- 400+ for careless driving
- 1200+ for mufflers causing unnecessary noise
- 1300+ for stunt driving and racing
