Distracted driving is one of the largest causes of collisions, injuries, and deaths on Canada’s roads.
It can take many forms, from eating and drinking to trying to program your GPS. The problem is getting bigger – distracted driving contributes to 21% of fatal collisions every year, up from 16% a decade ago (Transport Canada). Staying safe boils down to one thing: stay focused on your driving, and whenever possible deal with distractions before you leave or after you stop.
