When driving remember...
Don't Drink and drive
In Canada, there is a large
number of young people kill-
ed and injured in highway col-
lisions. About 1,500 Canadian
teenagers die each year in
traffic crashes - the number
one killer of young people to-
day. According to official
police reports, the most
dangerous time frame for
traffic fatalities is between 9
p.m. to 2 a.m.
During this Safe Driving
Week, the Canada Safety
Council encourages young
people to take extra precau-
tions when driving.
Remember, don't drink and
drive, wear your seat belt and
drive defensively. Infis way
you will save thousands of
lives that otherwise would be
lost as a result of motor vehi-
cle collisions. Traffic crashes
are a preventable waste of
life, health and money.
"Young Canadians Are
Responsible Drivers. Help Us
Prove It!" This is the theme
of the Canada Safety Coun-
cil's 30th Annual Safe Driving
Week. Drivers age 25 and
under are involved in more
traffic crashes causing death,
serious injury and property
damage than any other age
group of Canadians. What is
the problem? The Council
says, "Young drivers colli-
sions receive only short term
attention. The collective con-
cerns of all groups - govern-
ments, educational system,
society, parents, police and
other interest groups - are not
co-ordinated. Only a few see
the problem warranting a
high priority."
Why the Problem? Young
drivers are often inexperienc-
ed (adolescence), lack good
judgement, often drink and
drive, are willing to take
risks, and exhibit feelings of
aggression and alienation
while driving. What might be
done about the problem.?
The major emphasis must
include parental supervision
combined with mandatory
safety education programs
prior to reaching driver licen-
sing.age. A driver licensing
system., incorporating a
graduated drivers permit
with heavy financial penalties
and license suspensions for
non-compliance, universal
alcohol and drug control
policies and procedures,
special insurance schemes
with incentives for safe driv-
ing and school based pro-
grams, such as Students
Against Drunk Drivers, must
be implemented and co-
ordinated on a National level.
Yes, young Canadians can
be responsible drivers. We
must all work together to pro-
ve it! Support the 30th Annual
Safe Driving Week, get in-
volved, and help Canada's
youth.
