Tens of thousands of Albertans are convicted of distracted driving annually. When an individual takes their eyes off the road to engage in a non-driving task, they threaten their lives and those around them. As a result, this capstone aims to answer this question: to what extent does Alberta’s distracted driving law prevent distracted driving convictions, and how does the province’s legislation compare to that of Saskatchewan? This project employs a legislative history of Alberta and Saskatchewan’s distracted driving laws, and fixed and random effect linear regressions on provincial- and municipal-level distracted driving data in the two provinces. The results demonstrate a negative relationship between distracted driving convictions and demerits and fines in Alberta and Saskatchewan, calling for further policy interventions to keep drivers safe on and off the road.
