"Speeding is our most com- | mon violation," he said. | Traffic violations are becom- ing worse but not out of hand, aland Oshawa has relatively few accidents compared to other municipalities of the same size, the Canadian Highway Safety Council manual reports. | 'We've only had two fatalities 'this year,' Smyth said, 'and that's not too bad for here."

The accl- dent toll is less and they move large volumes of traffic quick- ly, he said. Lane-hopping on the one way streets is the major problem as well as improper turns from the wrong lane, Smyth said. "We get a lot of those charges,"' he said. Drinking and driving viola- tions are "not too bad" police said. When the breathalizer is installed more charges will be laid on those who are arrested for driving while under the in- fluence of alcohol, they said, Accidents have been frequent at some corners in the city, police said. The corner of Sim- jcoe and Rossland has had nine jaccidents this year while Sim- |coe and Adelaide has had seven. These are caused by. improper turns made during peak per- iods of traffic congestion, police say. On the two-way streets, rear- end collisions occur frequently, Smyth said. "Drivers aren't paying atten- tion,"' he said, Many of the violaters of the traffic laws are under the age of 25, Inspt. Smyth said, Referring to the traffic safety lane which the police had in operation in Oshawa, Inspt. Smyth said the police have al- jways had the authority to pull jcars off the streets and put them through the safety lane. If jthe motorist refuses to go through the inspection of his ve- hicle the police have the au- } thority to take the licence plates '|from the car, "Keep pace with the traffic,' Smyth said, "and the |traffice situation will improve. al Cubs Participate | Annual "Cuboree" Cubs in Oshawa are partici | bating in their annual "Cub loree" at Camp Samac today.
