Alberta’s Distracted Driving Legislation goes into effect September 1st

[Andoo]

What about all the police I see on their cell phones calling each other to tell where the shortest Tim's line up is? Try proving that a cop was on the phone while driving. Marked man unless you get a picture of it......

 

[Bogger]

then they will fine you for operating a camera while driving....

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Police are exempt, sort of like seat belts. Id rather have a cop on the cell with me (in certain situations ) than not - IMO.

I heard this on the radio this morning while driving to work, with my headphones on and eating a bowl of porridge and some toast, sipping on my coffee and shaving........... Sucks

 

[Pistonbroke]

I let an enormous beer fart go in the truck this morning - brought so many tears to my eyes that I couldn't see straight, and started swerving......$272 later I can tell you that farting is on the distracted driving list!

that Brewhouse will doo it every time, oh great one!!

Now you will see people rushing to the side of the road to take a call. Frankly, not super safe manouvering.

I noticed this a bunch more when it kicked in around these parts.

It's been law in Saskatchewan for a couple years now and you still see people yakking on handhelds and driving, everywhere.

Is there even police cars in saskatchewan highways to see anybody? I'm wrong, they could spot you in binoculars an hour away hiding behind a highway sign in Yellow Grass, Sask. lol

[rubirose]

[rubirose]

Not sure. I was to busy changing the sattelite radio station, texting one buddy while on the phone with another, checking my email, checking S&M, and have a smoke.

I'm just glad I didn't spill my vodka.

 

[Summiteer]

Theres an app for the BB called drive carefullythat reads the texts for you, don't know about replying though.

i see that if u stop on the side of the road to answer or make a call its illegal too.............. wtf do they want us to do???? drive 1 mile down a gravel road to do it.... just stupid

 

[rknight111]

Yesterday I had a few people that were in the outside lanes suddenly pull into my lane and then turn off the road. I had to hit my brakes quite hard, and the same for the people all around me. He pulled over and then was on his phone. If you don't have a hands free system would suggest getting one, this hold on while I pull over will cause some accidents as well.

Get a handsfree bluetooth device?

Conspiricy!!!! Bluetooth and Alberta are in bed together! Follow the paper trail!!!





Not really

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Way less peeps with phones on the ear yesterday.

 

[JaySimon]

My buetooth thinger cost ~$60 or some such. Was significantly cheaper than even one ticket. Heck, work has me driving around a bunch and they covered the cost. Sure it sounds shitty, and if you forget to turn it off it dies, and my ol lady tossed out the power cord, but damn does it work great at avoiding giving the government more money.
