RCMP shares safety tips for new drivers
Alberta RCMP is highlighting road safety advice for new and inexperienced drivers, who face higher risks of serious collisions according to Transport Canada.
Young and new drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in fatal and injury collisions due to their age and inexperience, according to Transport Canada. Alberta RCMP is using August to remind both new and experienced drivers of safety best practices.
Sgt. Darrin Turnbull of Alberta RCMP Traffic Services emphasized the shared responsibility for road safety. "Everyone has a duty to look out for each other on the roads, and this includes looking out for new drivers," he said. "Stay attentive, drive according to conditions, and if you see dangerous driving, report it. This way, we can all do our part and stay safe."
