(PUSLINCH TWP, ON) – The Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stop a drive twice for the same offences, after the driver failed to adhere to instruction from the first traffic stop, resulting in a total of 14 charges.

On April 21, 2025, at approximately 11:00 a.m., the West-Region TIME Team (Traffic Incident Management Enforcement), were conducting proactive traffic enforcement and initiated a traffic stop on a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) on Highway 401, leading to the 401 Service Centre within Puslinch Township.

The accused was also given the following warnings:

Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) collisions carry unique risks. Due to the size and weight of these large vehicles, when they are involved in a collision – especially on a highway – the outcome can be catastrophic. CMVs can weigh more than 60,000 kg. (132,277 lbs). When combined with speeds ranging from 80 to 105 km/h, these vehicles generate significant momentum and energy, giving them the potential to cause extensive loss of life, injuries and property damage. The OPP recognizes that there are many safe, responsible CMV drivers who contribute to safe roads in Ontario.

If you have an urgent traffic complaint or if you suspect someone is driving while their ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired by drugs or alcohol, please call 911 immediately. If you have a non-emergency traffic complaint, you may also call 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). You may be eligible for a reward from Crime Stoppers of up to $2,000.
