Impaired driving affects us all - drive sober, drive safely #roadsafety

[Dr. Liraz Fridman @lirazfridman1]

So thankful to have dedicated police officers in Guelph ensuring that drivers who get behind the wheel do so soberly. On national impaired driving prevention week let’s remember that safe roads require safe drivers and safe drivers don’t drive impaired.

It’s #NationalSafeDriving Week.

Put your phone in the glove compartment, a zipped purse or backpack, or even on the back seat.

Out of sight, out of mind.

See snow? Remember to drive slowly.

Many winter collisions happen because drivers are going too fast for road conditions.

We all have a part to play in road safety.

Starting July 1, 2022, school buses in Ontario will be using overhead amber flashing lights to indicate that they’re slowing down to prepare to pick-up or drop off passengers.

This change will help keep kids safe. 🚌 🧒

Drivers who text while driving are up to six times more likely to be involved in a crash. Eyes on the road. That message can wait. Don’t drive distracted.

An average freight train weighs more than 5,500 tonnes. Compare that to a car, which weighs about 1.5 tonnes. A train hitting a car is like a car hitting a pop can. https://t.co/CCZrhGW13R #NTDSW2022 #DrivingTakes100 @CNRailway

It’s #SchoolBusSafety Week!

Take time this week to talk to students about school bus safety – especially what they should do when they are boarding, riding and leaving a bus.

Young drivers may drive distracted for different reasons: fear of missing out (FOMO), texting while driving to stay connected to their friends. Learn why distracted driving is a bad idea at https://t.co/4f1DE3cKzP #NTDSW2022 #DrivingTakes100
