A licence should be required

to reproduce.

And like your drivers licence, there should be a demerit system for stupidity.

OPP traffic blitz here nails nearly 400 drivers

After speaking with one of the officers taking part in the blitz, Constable Rob Sinclair, on Monday, Barr said one of the most disturbing stops was a man clocked at 171 km/h in a minivan Friday with his wife and young child in the vehicle.

"He pleaded for a reduction of some sort," said Barr, who said his request was denied.

Despite repeated warnings from police about the importance of buckling up to avoid serious injury in a crash, Prophet said numerous people were charged for seatbelt violations.

Disturbingly, several of those not strapped in were children.

"Those kind of speeds, not ensuring that their children are buckled in is quite concerning," said Barr.
