Edmonton — Alberta RCMP reminds motorists of the dangers of distracted driving

The Alberta RCMP reminds motorists of the importance of distraction-free driving. Driving requires a motorist's complete attention in order for them to be fully aware of their surroundings and other road users. When a motorist's focus is removed from the road, there is an increased risk of driver error, collision, and serious injury. Despite the dangers of distracted driving being common knowledge, Alberta RCMP charged over 5,000 motorists in 2023 for the offence.
