Summer is in full swing, which means more traffic on the roads with people traveling to their summer destinations or visiting family and friends.
OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson says motorists need to slow down and be aware of their surroundings.
With our area being the heart of cottage country and construction in full swing as well, Dickson is reminding drivers to be patient.
Dickson also reminds drivers that if you’re passing a cyclist, you must give them 1 meter, or 3 feet, of space.
