Cops hand out 1,500 tickets to speeders over long weekend

A holiday weekend speeding enforcement blitz netted more than 1,000 tickets on Eastern Ontario roads on Sunday alone, nearly double the haul on Saturday, according to OPP Const. Guy Prevost. “It doesn’t look like anybody’s slowing down for the holiday weekend,” said Prevost, as roadside patrols nabbed 990 speeders on Sunday.
