The province’s much anticipated distracted driving law has passed into the legislature.
The leglislation now has to be officially sworn into law.
It will likely be quite a while however, until police start handing out fines for the offences Bill 16 covers.
There is a major public awareness campaign on the way, letting Albertans know what they will be allowed to do and not do behind the wheel.
Under the law, using a hand-held cell phone will be banned and if your caught you could be fined as much as 200 dollars.
