Alberta Class 7 Practice

On average, from 2016 to 2020, each year approximately 38 people were killed and 535 people were injured in collisions involving impaired driving. Drugs or alcohol will impair your driving. Operating a vehicle safely and responsibly requires that you be alert. Impairment begins with the first drink or drug use. It is important that all drivers understand the risks of drinking or drug use and driving, and realize that there are risks, laws, and penalties involved with this choice. You may face: • heavy fines • a criminal record • time in jail • the loss of your driver’s licence privileges • increased vehicle insurance premiums • damage to property • serious injury or death • loss of employment, if driving is required as part of the job.
