Here’s my Safe Roads Challenge report card from the #GreatCanadianDrivingGames—and yeah, I’m showing off a little: • Speed: 100% • Phone Use: 100% • Acceleration: 89 • Braking: 87 • Cornering: 88 • Steadiness: 83 • Swerve: Lowest score—but probably because I had to react

DYK that 94% of #distracteddriving convictions were for using a hand-held electronic device while driving? It’s illegal for driver’s to use electronic devices while driving on all roads in Alberta, even while stopped at a red light. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

In 2022, approximately 1 in 9 drivers involved in fatal collisions were legally impaired. Before you head out, plan your safe way home. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

We're throwing it back to last week's Click It or Ticket kickoff event @usdot headquarters! Volunteers tried out the Seat Belt Convincer, which simulates a low-impact crash — and stresses the importance of wearing a seat belt. Click It or Ticket. Don't Risk It.

Nearly half of collisions with school buses are the result of driver error – focus on driving and nothing else. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety
