Alberta and Rocky RCMP focusing on distracted driving
This month the Alberta RCMP are putting the focus on distracted driving.
“Distracted driving is a focus at all times and there is an annual Alberta traffic safety calendar, and for February distracted driving is the focus,” Rocky Mountain Houses Traffic Services member Cst. Mark Genge states.
Alberta Sheriffs Supt. Rick Gardner claimed in a media release that research showed that distracted driving plays a role in 20 to 30 per cent of all collisions.
In that same release it was revealed that in 2019 there were over 9,000 people charged with distracted driving offences in Alberta RCMP jurisdictions.
