While Percy said enforcement and education efforts to prevent distracted driving will continue, he fears distracted driving legislation, like seatbelt legislation, may be something people will only accept in time. Driving too fast along unfamiliar roads at night, driving too fast for the road conditions and fatigue were listed by police as additional causes of Halton's many traffic collisions. Continued from page 8 Police plan to get tough on dangerous driving Some of the problem, Percy said, comes from Halton being a rapidly growing community with more cars on the roads and more accidents. Halton police will be stepping up enforcement this year and have numerous projects to make Halton's roads safer. One initiative includes using Speed Sentry devices to monitor traffic in an area so police can determine if there is a problem with people speeding there and how big a problem. Another initiative has involved the training of officers to recognize types of drug impairment so they can identify drivers impaired by narcotics. "They do a series of tests with the individual that can confirm impairment by drugs and they can also tell what drug you are impaired by and the level of impairment," said Percy. "It's a very intense training program. It's a very high skill set. So we now have the tools that can prove impairment and the expert testimony in court to validate that." Percy said secondary school students will be made aware of these officers and what they can do during various school presentations Halton police will undertake with MADD during prom season. Other initiatives include seatbelt campaigns, a `Share the Road' safe cycling initiative, and blitzes by Halton Regional Police Service Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit, which makes sure large commercial trucks are operating safely and are fit to be on the road.

"Don't be on your cell phone, don't be reading a book, don't be reading a map," he said. "Everybody has their part to play by paying attention and focusing on driving while they are driving." Percy said can use their cell phones while driving to report an impaired driver as impaired driving is considered a crime in progress.
