Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign to make Canadas roads the safest in the world. This public aware- ness campaign focuses primarily on driving behaviours that are considered dangerous, such as impaired driving, failure to wear a seat belt, and, new this year, aggressive driving. A survey published in 2005 reveals that 6.7% of respondents admitted to driving with an alcohol level that was higher than the legal limit during the previous year. Yet, Canada is very strict compared to other countries. Canadian law stipulates a maximum penalty of five years for driving with a 0.09 alcohol level, whereas the longest maximum penalty in another country is two years. Another behaviour that increases road fatalities is disregard- ing the use of seat belts. The inside of a vehicle has whats called the engineered life space, which is specially con- ceived to handle collisions and protect vehicle occupants. The seat belt will hold you inside that engineered life space. Seat belts also offer the best protection against ejection. Finally, as part of its annual road safety campaign, the Canadian Safety Council wants to make people realize the dangers of aggressive driving. The fifth annual Study on Aggressive Driving demonstrates that 72 percent of respon- dents feel that aggressive driving is increasingly widespread on our roads. Here are a few tricks to avoid unpleasant situ- ations: Find other routes and itineraries to avoid busy roads. If you travel with young children, stop often and bring toys and books. Be an example for your young passengers. Children are very observant. Teach them the importance of courtesy and preventive driving. Do not feel threatened. Be polite, even when the other driver is not. Take a deep breath and yield the way. AGGRESSIVE DRIVING IS UNACCEPTABLE!
