Police say 67 charges were laid for other infractions and 141 warnings were issued.
"Essex OPP officers continue to observe risky driving behaviours by some commuters on our highways and roadways and the Labour Day long weekend was no exception, as excessive speed, distracted driving, impaired driving, and a lack of seatbelt use continued to be the areas of specific concern," said OPP A/Inspector Jamie Smith.
"Members of Essex County OPP will continue to conduct traffic enforcement initiatives and provide education as a means of ensuring everyone's safety. Please respect the rules of the road and drive with respect," he added.
