RoadSmart Report | July 2002

SGI streamlines accident reporting
Getting into an accident is always an inconvenience, but soon the process for reporting an accident will be simplified.

Child restraint clinics in full swing
The best way to protect your child in the event of a collision or sudden stop while driving is to use a child safety seat. It’s important that you choose an appropriate seat for your child’s age and weight, and also that you install it correctly.

Towing and trailer safety
Summer is the season for travellers to be towing everything from small fishing boats to large fifth-wheel trailers. The last thing these travellers want is to be involved in an accident because they had the wrong tow vehicle or trailer hitch.

Tips for safe holiday travel
As summer holiday season arrives in Saskatchewan, the number of people travelling on provincial highways drastically increases. To ensure a safe trip while vacationing this year, motorists need to be prepared and stay alert.

Revisions made to the rules of the road
Recent amendments to The Highway Traffic Act clarify the rules of the road regarding the use of emergency hazard lights, amber flashing lights and the placement of video, television or computer screens in a vehicle.
