Distracted and Impaired Driving Accidents in Ottawa
Public awareness of the dangers of impaired driving has been rising steadily over the past few decades. Statistics show that more people are making smart choices to avoid driving while they are impaired (taxis, ride-sharing, and designated drivers have all helped). Meanwhile, the statistics regarding distracted driving are more and more alarming each year.
As per Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation, the number of deaths caused by distracted drivers has doubled since the use of smartphones became widespread. In 2021, driver inattention accounted for nearly 20% of driving deaths, according to the Province of Ontario’s most recent statistics. At no time is distraction more dangerous than behind the wheel.
The Canadian Automobile Association notes that distracted drivers are eight times more likely to be in a crash, or near crash event, than non-distracted drivers.
