If you’re looking at your phone, the police are looking for you. Since distracted driving legislation was introduced in 2011, there have been more than 268,000 #distracteddriving convictions in Alberta.
Park your phone and drive your car! #ABRoads #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

#DowntownRushHour - it’s unreal how many drivers still refuse to go hands-free. It only takes a few minutes to spot a driver who is talking on their phone, holding it in their hand or otherwise distracted with a cell phone. Distracted, drivers contribute to congestion and collisions. ^bm #zerotolerance @DropItAndDrive @TIRFCANADA @OACPOfficial @TorontoPolice @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPSMandeepMann

#FestiveRIDE2025 - #RIDE is a well established program - it is as much about public engagement and education as it is enforcement - the best way to prevent #impaired driving is simply choosing to #DriveSober - those who don’t - @TorontoPolice hope to see you soon - ^bm @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPSMandeepMann @tpsJohnson @OACPOfficial @TPS31Div @maddcanada @DriveSober @DropItAndDrive @CAASCO @CP24 @CBCAlerts
Insp. Phillip Sinclair and I will be out with our officers from @TPS31Div and @TrafficServices this evening to lend our support.

#DowntownRushHour - a huge contributor to rush-hour delays, are drivers who choose to drive distracted. This driver was watching a YouTube video while driving downtown on Bay Street. Expensive video - wait till you get home. ^bm @TIRFCANADA @cityoftoronto @OACPOfficial @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPSMandeepMann @TorontoPolice @TPAca @TPSMotorSquad

🐴🚗 Always be careful when passing horses and riders on the road. Slow down when approaching and pass wide and slow. Drive wide of the horse and rider, and never use your horn or lights in a way that might startle or blind a horse.

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
“Our future drivers begin watching from a young age. When it comes to setting the right example, our children are sponges. Relying on the do as I say, not as I do philosophy is an inherent contradiction & they’re savvy enough to know it.” - K Bowman, Founder, TIRF’s DIAD program

"About 1 in 5 drivers say stress from work, school, or their messy love life throws off their focus. So yeah, even when you're not touching your phone, your brain might still be miles away." @KoolFMBarrie

Spring means more than just nice weather. Watch for hidden dangers:
✔ Wildlife crossings.
✔ Sun glare.
✔ Loose gravel & wet roads.
Stay alert, expect the unexpected!
