The OPP is asking drivers to think twice before driving off-road to pass on the shoulder! In Ontario, it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous to overtake another vehicle by driving off the roadway. This isn’t just about getting ahead; it’s about putting yourself and others at serious risk due to unpredictable terrain, loss of control, and reduced visibility. The consequences are real: a $110.00 total payable fine and 3 Demerit Points. Prioritize safety over speed – stay on the paved road and pass responsibly
