OPP say they laid around 1,200 seatbelt charges over Easter weekend as part of a province-wide campaign.
The initiative ran from March 29 to April 1.
"Over the four-day campaign, the OPP laid close to 1,200 seatbelt charges against drivers and passengers who chose to receive fines (and demerit points for drivers), rather than take a few seconds to buckle up and keep themselves safe," police officials said in a release.
"Speeding posed a significant threat to the motoring public throughout the weekend."
OPP say more than 6,400 speeding fines and over 150 fines for racing/stunt driving were also issued.
Around 140 impaired driving charges and more than 130 distracted driving charges were among other offences.
