Distracted Driving Campaign is on now
Distracted Driving is one of the major driving behaviours that contribute to fatal and serious injury motor vehicle collisions. The RCMP across British Columbia will be conducting a month-long awareness and targeted enforcement campaign against distracted drivers in February.

Last year, 27% of collision fatalities in BC were caused by distracted or inattentive drivers, despite over 40,000 violation tickets being issued for use of electronic device or driving without due care and attention.

Division Traffic Services.
Each year, on average, 91 people die due to distracted driving-related crashes, 31 in the Lower Mainland, 12 in the North, 34 in the Southeast and 14 on Vancouver Island. All of these deaths were needless, preventable deaths that could have been prevented by drivers paying their attention solely to the driving task.
