August Traffic Safety Focus: New Drivers
A learner’s license is not a license to drive alone.
A Ford Mustang was stopped on Highway 546 after being observed travelling 107 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. The driver held a Class 7 learner’s license, and the two passengers in the vehicle did not have valid driver’s licenses.
The result:
• $295 ticket for speeding
• $105 ticket for illegal window tint
• $324 ticket for driving without proper supervision
• $396 tow bill
New drivers are learning, but they are still responsible for following the rules of the road. Speeding, driving without supervision, and unsafe vehicle modifications can quickly turn a short drive into expensive consequences.
If you hold a Class 7 learner’s license, make sure you have a properly licensed supervising driver with you every time.

Slow down. Follow your license conditions. Get home safely.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Anyone else find this a bit off?

It is that time of year when people want to enjoy the last weekends of summer. For some that is a BBQ with friends, a night with family around a fire or for some a large party. Before you make those plans, have you checked the bylaws for your area?

Only in Millarville...I asked 2 different RCMP officers about people camping overnight in motorhomes on the street in the hamlet. It's become a thing for some folks who party and partake. Both officers said they did not know if it was permitted in Foothills County.

Surely this should also fall under provincial laws (of course I will be reaching out to my MLA and the Office of the Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors).

Can anybody help me make sense of this? So you can't sleep it off in your vehicle due to care and control but you can park your own portable drunk tank on a public road and sleep it off with your buddies. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I sure don't want this in my neighborhood!

Well this was a major fail. They didn't even know where Millarville was...I did have some success after several calls to 310-RCMP but they had no idea what our bylaws were and the attending officer was like, I don't know. Call your town. “You seem to want me to do something but call your town.” UMMM they said to call you...
