Traffic Related Offences in Peel Region
Traffic offences are rising in the Region of Peel. Statistical data from Peel Regional Police indicates that Highway Traffic Act charges have increased from 2020 to 2021 as well as motor vehicle collisions. As Peel Region constantly grows so will obviously the traffic related charges and traffic accidents will rise, but many ask, is the Drive Test Ontario doing enough to reduce the number of bad driving habits? As the new incidence in Mississauga shows, drivers miss to interpret traffic signs and therefor endanger them selves and other drivers.
