Road safety education

Students at H.A. Kostash School in Smoky Lake received an important lesson about road safety recently, thanks to a visit from local constables who taught them about the dangers of distracted driving.

The Constables spoke to students about the importance of staying focused on the road and avoiding distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, and eating while driving. They also shared sobering statistics about the number of accidents that occur each year due to distracted driving, emphasizing the importance of being aware and present while behind the wheel.

The visit was part of the Constables’ ongoing efforts to educate young people about the importance of road safety and responsible driving. By reaching out to students and providing them with the information and tools they need to make smart choices on the road, they hope to prevent accidents and save lives.

The students at H.A. Kostash School were grateful for the opportunity to learn from the Constables and appreciated their dedication to keeping the community safe. Many students were surprised by the extent of the dangers of distracted driving, and felt empowered to make responsible choices when behind the wheel.

Overall, the visit was a success, and the Constables’ message about road safety and the dangers of distracted driving was well-received by students and staff alike. We thank them for their important work and for their commitment to educating young people about the importance of responsible driving.
