Safety Tips  

Alberta’s new Distracted Driving Law is expected to come into effect mid-2011. The law will restrict the use of hand-held cell phones and activities such as texting, reading, writing, personal grooming, and the use of other electronic devices while driving.

For further information link to Alberta’s new distracted driving legislation.

When you are in your vehicle, your primary focus must be on driving. You cannot drive safely when you’re distracted.

• It only takes a second and a collision can occur.
• Keep your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel - put your focus where it should be.
• Multi-tasking while driving could prove to be a fatal error in judgment.
• Distracted driving literally impairs your driving ability.

Learn about the dangers of multi-tasking while driving in the Asphalt Jungle.

Listen to Doctor Boris Blotski describe how distractions impact drivers during the rush hour.
