Parker Thompson, 17, of Red Deer, Alta., spoke to students at West Vancouver and Rockridge secondary schools Jan. 7 about the dangers of distracted driving, as part of his #DriveToStayAlive campaign.
Distracted driving is the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., according to ICBC, and under the graduated licensing program, anyone with a Learners or Novice licence is not allowed to use an electronic device behind the wheel, including hands-free headsets or speakerphones.
