🚨 It’s only 8:49 a.m. and an impaired driver has already been arrested.
Impaired driving doesn’t just happen late at night — it happens at all hours of the day. Thankfully this driver was stopped before someone got hurt.
Drive sober. Arrive alive. #VisionZero #ImpairedDriving

Yesterday’s snowstorm in Toronto.
Icy roads. Limited visibility.

I charged 12 drivers for texting while driving during rush hour commute.

In winter conditions, reaction time is everything.
A phone takes it away.

Vision Zero isn’t a slogan — it’s prevention.
Put the phone down.

[OfficerPapadopoulos @PCPappy]

Heavy snowfall in Toronto and some drivers still flying at the speed limit or above.
You’re not “cool” blowing past drivers who are being cautious — you’re reckless and putting everyone else at risk.
Slow down. Get there alive. #TorontoTraffic #SnowStorm #DriveSafe

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Celebrate smart — don’t drink or do drugs and drive.
Plan a safe ride and get home alive. 💙🚗

Snow is falling, brakes are calling… and some drivers are still pretending physics doesn’t exist.
Take it slow, clear the snow, and let’s avoid the “I didn’t see them” chorus today.

Snow is back, and so are the drivers who “think they can stop.”
Spoiler: They can’t.
Slow down, clear your car, and let’s all get where we are going in one piece.

The Move Over Law is simple. When an emergency vehicle is stopped on the side of the road with its flashing lights on, drivers must slow down & proceed with caution; make sure it's safe to proceed, then move over to the left & away from the stopped vehicles

Spotted a driver using their phone. When stopped, the driver tossed an open can of beer out the window. Charged with distracted driving, careless driving, & liquor offences. 3 mgs away from losing licence (47mgs per 100mil)
Distracted and under the influence

On behalf of the members of the @TorontoPolice , thank you to the @BlueJays for all you have done for our city and for bringing us together through an incredible season and World Series. You have made us all very proud.

[OfficerPapadopoulos @PCPappy]

Well, it happened. Stopped a driver for speeding,charged accordingly. While issuing the ticket, they said, “Come on officer, I’m a Blue Jays fan too!” Nice try, but cheering for the same team doesn’t get you out of a ticket. ⚾️Slow down speed kills #VisionZero #Toronto #BlueJays

🌳 A tree can stop a car.
🚶 A pedestrian can’t.

At 30 km/h – 5% of pedestrians die.
At 50 km/h – 55%.
At 60 km/h – 90%.

⚠️ Speed kills. Slow down.

🚨 A driving school instructor, with two students in the car, was stopped and charged with disobeying a traffic sign after making an unsafe move. Not the lesson new drivers should be learning. Drive safely and obey the law.

Here is my friendly Pappy’s Traffic Tip 🚨
“Didn’t see the sign” isn’t an excuse.
If a sign is clearly posted and you ignore it—you broke the law.
➡️ $110 fine
➡️ 2 demerit points
🚸 In a Community Safety Zone? That fine doubles

Parents — before jumping to a cellphone, consider giving your child a landline. It keeps them connected without the risks of social media, screen addiction, or online predators. One step at a time. Safety first. 💡📞 #ParentingTips #DigitalWellness #Landline

What’s your opinion on photo radar enforcement (automated speed cameras)?

[OfficerPapadopoulos @PCPappy]

Driving too slow in the left lane is dangerous—not just annoying.

It causes:
⚠️ Sudden lane changes
⚠️ Tailgating
⚠️ Road rage
⚠️ Rear-end collisions

Keep the left lane for passing. It’s the law in many places—and it saves lives. #RoadSafety #DriveRight #VisionZero
