Hey there, road warriors! Did you know that impaired driving isn’t just about being drunk? It can involve drugs, fatigue, or even distractions like your phone. No matter the cause, driving while impaired is illegal and can lead to serious consequences!

Research shows that even a small amount of cannabis can increase your risk of having an accident, and combining it with alcohol? That risk skyrockets! So, how can we stay safe out there?

  • Select a designated driver
  • Plan to use a taxi or rideshare service
  • Ask a friend for a ride if you’ve had too much
  • Get plenty of rest before driving
  • Keep distractions like your phone out of reach!

In Alberta, the rules are tough on impaired driving. If you’re caught driving impaired, the penalties can be hefty, including fines, possible jail time, and even the confiscation of your vehicle.

Remember, impaired driving is a leading cause of accidents on Alberta’s roads. So let’s pledge to keep our roads safer together!
