Another question on winter traction

Distracted driving has now exceeded the #1 cause for fatalities and motor vehicle incidents over impaired drivers. Multi tasking has been not just accepted but the preferred type of person to hire for productivity and promotion. Unfortunately these same people and technology have created a need to focus with priority on anything except the task at hand driving. High tech vehicles with enhanced built in skills allow drivers to be less skilled while driving and more protected. The combination has created a situation when there is incidents the results are more drastic. In Alberta distracted driving is a $172 fine but the officer is not allowed to check or confiscate your phone and they are not willing to subpoena phone/text records. Just a rough stat shows 14-15000 MVI fatalities in Canada and the United States for every 1 firearm related fatality but the number of people still driving after guilty of the incident is over 95%. Something to think about next time your driving and you just have to do something other than look ahead assessing the road in the varying conditions.
