Officers of the Rainy River District OPP would like to remind drivers that as of February 1, 2010 it is illegal in Ontario for drivers to use ANY hand held communications and entertainment devices while operating their vehicles.
Since the introduction of this law in October 2009, the focus was on educating drivers about the new legislation. Officers are observing that the number of people using their hand held cellular phones has decreased but we are concerned about the large number of drivers who continue to engage in this dangerous activity.
