Toronto Police Service Traffic Services is inviting the public to participate in the #ThatTextOrCallCouldEndItAll discussion on Facebook. 

During February, the Toronto Police Service runs its annual distracted-driving campaign called “That Text or Call Could End It All.”

This live-streamed discussion will focus on trends, concerns, and current as well as upcoming legislative changes including monetary penalties and licence suspensions for distracted-driving-related offences. 

Although distracted-driving legislation targets those people who use cellphones, distraction takes many forms. Some of these include eating, drinking, reading, and personal grooming. 

Members of Traffic Services will answer questions from the public on distracted-driving through a moderator on Facebook.

The live-streamed discussion will run on Monday, February 19, 2018, from noon to 12:30 p.m. EST., and will be broadcast via Facebook at Traffic Services Facebook Page.

Remember #RoadSafetyStartsWithYou
