Gibson Driver Education

Something to think about!

You glance down at a text for a second while driving 50km/hr. You have already travelled more than the length of a school bus without your eyes on the road. In that time, a light can turn red, a pedestrian can step into a crosswalk or a child may have run into the street.

You won’t see any of it-it’s too late.

In Niagara, 1 in 5 serious crashes involve drivers under 25. Distracted driving is a major factor - and it can be prevented.

Parents: Have the conversation with your young driver about keeping their eyes on the road when driving.

The bottom line: Your phone can wait. Your life can’t.

The more hours your child gets to drive with you by their side the more confidant they will become. The MTO recommends a min of 80 hours before driving alone

To parents / guardians of young drivers:

You have something your teen doesn’t: experience. Thousands of hours of reading traffic, anticipating hazards, adjusting to conditions.

In Niagara, 1 in 5 serious crashes involve drivers under 25 - not because they’re careless, but because experience can’t be rushed.

Share yours:

• That time you almost didn’t see black ice until it was too late
• How you learned to spot distracted drivers around you
• Why you never drive angry or upset
• The near-miss that changed how you drive

Your stories are their lessons.

What driving wisdom have you shared with your young driver?

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. Please be safe tonight and always! Call a cab, ask a friend, be safe and please don't drink and drive
