Operating a snowmobile while impaired by alcohol or drugs carries serious penalties, including immediate roadside suspensions, vehicle impoundment and potential criminal charges. Snowmobile Safety Week is an annual awareness and enforcement campaign aimed at reducing collisions, injuries and fatalities during peak riding season. OPP officers use the campaign to emphasize responsible riding practices, including sober operation, proper documentation and adhe- rence to trail regulations. Riders heading out are reminded to carry all required documentation, including a valid trail permit, a valid driver’s licence, vehicle ownership, and proof of insurance. Police also reiterated a clear safety mes- sage: do not drink and ride. With winter conditions drawing large numbers of snowmobilers to OFSC trails, officers say proactive enforcement remains essential to ensuring the safety of riders and other trail users throughout the region.
