Don’t drive high!

#TrafficTipTuesday: Do you know what to do when approaching emergency or designated vehicles working at roadside? - Use caution Drivers can be fined when fail...ing to use caution when passing emergency or designated vehicles working at roadside. - Slow down If the posted maximum speed limit is under 80 km/h, you must slow down to at least 40 km/h. If the posted maximum speed limit is 80 km/h or higher, you must slow down to at least 60 km/h.

Road safety is everyone’s business! If you’re a passenger and your driver is talking, texting or tweeting, scrolling a playlist or even checking for updates beh...ind the wheel, speak up, remind them that it is against the law and insist they put the phone away. Along with saving them from a hefty fine and possible suspension, you could have just saved yourself from a collision. You can also help others help themselves. When you call someone, ask if they are driving. If they are, call back later.

#TrafficTipTuesday: Rear-end collisions are common at expressway entrances. There’s the possibility of being rear-ended by traffic behind you, and, if your atte...ntion is too focused on expressway traffic, you could rear-end a vehicle in front of you in the merge lane. Watch the video for tips on how to minimize your risk of rear-end collisions. See more

#TrafficTipTuesday: To maintain a safe following distance one which provides you with sufficient time to stop in an emergency, use a four-second following dis...tance when following (under ideal driving conditions allow more time under adverse conditions). 1. The rear of the vehicle ahead has just passed the sign you have decided to use as your marker. Begin counting. 2. Count: One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three. 3. Count: One thousand and four (four seconds). If it takes less than four seconds for the front of your vehicle to reach the marker, you are too close. Four seconds is correct. The safety factor is even greater if it takes more than four seconds. If you are being followed too closely, slow down gradually to give the driver behind you time to react. This can reduce your chances of being struck from behind should you need to stop.

Distracted driving is a number one road safety issue. BE SAFE!
