The dangers hit home when you think about near misses from ignored signals or tailgators breathing down your neck. Quebec roads see too many close calls, and this operation aims to remind folks that safety rules aren't suggestions. Key focus areas include skipping turn signals, blowing through stop signs or red lights, illegal passing, following too close, and phone distractions. Using your blinker is an optional. It's the law and could save lives.
