It goes without saying that when you’re driving, you shouldn’t use your cellphone. It’s something we all already know, right? Even so, one in four automobile crashes in the US is caused by texting and driving and, worryingly, this figure is increasing.
It’s tempting to use your cellphone while driving because it’s really useful; you can dial into that meeting, find the quickest route to your destination, or play your favorite songs with one swipe. But there are better ways to do all these things, without taking your full concentration off the road ahead.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
• Appreciate the dangers and consequences of using your phone while driving
• Understand the legislation about phone use while driving
• Choose safer alternatives
Why take this course?
It’s simple, really. You don’t want to be another statistic. While the work meeting or arriving on time is important, staying safe when you’re behind the wheel is vital. This course will help by giving you information and advice on alternatives to using your cellphone while driving. Don’t take the risk, take the course instead.

Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
