Bracebridge Truck Rally - OPP

Provincial police responded to a large vehicle rally in a parking lot in Bracebridge on Saturday evening.

OPP say hundreds of vehicles, primarily pick-up trucks, attended the rally, at 500 Muskoka Road 118, which resulted in multiple charges.

"Many were conducting themselves irresponsibly and operating their vehicles in an unsafe manner," police stated in a release.

Officers say they attended to ensure the event was peaceful after receiving complaints about aggressive driving, in the form of racing, tailgating, and cutting other drivers off.

Police charged one driver with dangerous operation, 13 motorists for driving illegally modified vehicles, and three drivers for stunt driving, as well as issued warnings.

"Drivers who are involved in stunt driving or street racing face an immediate 30-day driver's licence suspension issued at the roadside, an immediate 14-day vehicle impoundment regardless of vehicle ownership, and a fine upon conviction between $2,000 and $10,000."
