August Traffic Safety Focus: New Drivers
A learner’s license is not a license to drive alone.
A Ford Mustang was stopped on Highway 546 after being observed travelling 107 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. The driver held a Class 7 learner’s license, and the two passengers in the vehicle did not have valid driver’s licenses.
The result:
• $295 ticket for speeding
• $105 ticket for illegal window tint
• $324 ticket for driving without proper supervision
• $396 tow bill
New drivers are learning, but they are still responsible for following the rules of the road. Speeding, driving without supervision, and unsafe vehicle modifications can quickly turn a short drive into expensive consequences.
If you hold a Class 7 learner’s license, make sure you have a properly licensed supervising driver with you every time.

Slow down. Follow your license conditions. Get home safely.

🚨 Bertha Armyworm Alert

Bertha armyworm outbreaks are being reported in localized areas of Alberta. Daily scouting is important, as larvae can move between fields and densities can change quickly.

🌱 While canola is most commonly affected, also monitor peas, mustard, flax, quinoa, h**p, alfalfa and potatoes.

More than 15,000 acres of canola and peas have been sprayed in Vulcan County, with additional above-threshold fields reported in Special Areas 4 and the Municipality of Taber.

Know your field—scout early and often!
