High-risk driving behaviours

Driving is a privilege not a right. Drivers are expected to understand and follow the rules of the road. These include:

• Driving only with a valid licence 
• Not driving while affected by alcohol or drugs
• Avoiding distractions such as cell phones
• Obeying the speed limit and driving for the conditions
• Not racing or stunt driving

If you drive unsafely, you risk tickets, fines, vehicle impoundments, and licence suspensions or prohibitions. You may also be ordered to complete a program to improve your driving.

In this section, you can learn more about the consequences of high-risk driving.
