Distracted driving is one of the largest causes of collisions, injuries and deaths on Canada’s roads.1 From texting and being on social media to talking on the phone or eating and drinking when behind the wheel, driver inattention has been found to contribute to approximately 80% of all collisions.2
Distractions impair our driving performance and reduce our awareness, which can result in drivers being slower to notice or less able to safely respond to critical events on the road. Put simply, when you take your eyes and attention off the road your risk of collision increases.3
