With the kids going back to school in less than a week, OPP are reminding drivers about the perils of distracted driving.
According to the force's latest statistics, more than 5,600 crashes they have investigated this year, have involved an inattentive driver.
31 deaths are attributed to those collisions.
OPP say with children and other students making their way to and from school beginning next week, there will be zero tolerance for drivers who direct anything less than 100 per cent of their attention to driving.
The force's commissioner says "Some drivers claim to be good multi-taskers behind the wheel and this is how they justify habitual texting, talking on their phone or other distractions while driving. This attitude has contributed to driver inattention being the deadliest behaviour on OPP-patrolled roads for the past five years. To help get the school year off to a safe start, develop a zero tolerance for anyone who claims to be a 'safe' distracted driver. There is no such thing and anyone who claims otherwise is a dangerous driver."
