January Traffic Initiative
During the month of January, the Peterborough Police Service Traffic Unit will be keeping a watch out for motorists failing to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles.
The Slow Down, Move Over law requires motorists approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights on to slow down and pass with the emergency vehicle with caution. If an emergency vehicle with lights on is approaching the motorist while moving the motorist is required to move off to the right and stop.
The fine for failing to do so is $400 and 3 demerit points.
Emergency vehicles are defined as Police, Fire, Ambulance and Tow vehicles.
