Traffic Safety in Alberta

Young Drivers are the traffic safety focus for May

One in five new drivers is involved in a collision

during their first two years of driving

The facts:

  • Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death and injury among Alberta's youth.

  • Almost one-half of casualty collisions involving a young driver occurred from June to October.

  • Crash rates for young drivers are highest when there are teen passengers in the vehicle.
     

What is Graduated Driver Licensing?

  • The Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program ensures that new drivers get the support, skills and experience they need to handle the complex task of driving.

  • GDL programs significantly decrease the collision rates of new drivers.
