Last week Cst. Sean Shapiro, Toronto Police Service spoke to Robyn Robertson and Karen Bowman from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation about pandemic related driving behaviour trends.
We had such a great time we decided to it again and this episode is focusing on distracted driving, distractions in the workplace, distracted walking, the science of distraction and, most importantly, how to make sure everyone gets home safe every day. Of course, we also had ‘the bear’ story & how “Kylee said” turned into “kamikaze” Available resources and links are posted below.
