The Ontario Provincial Police took 12 commercial vehicles off the road and laid 45 charges during a commercial vehicle inspection blitz.
The OPP, partnered with the LaSalle Police Service and the Ministry of Transportation, conducted the blitz on Hwy. 3 in Tecumseh on Monday.
They removed the plates from one vehicle.
In all, 26 vehicles were inspected.
"Operating a commercial motor vehicle with major defects can be extremely dangerous to everyone on the road," said the OPP.
Police found defects like a flat tire and broken leaf springs. One driver had the wrong class of licence, while another didn't have a valid commercial vehicle operators' registration.
