Driving in Grand Falls-Windsor – Tips to keep you on the road.
PRACTICE THE MOVE OVER LAW.
As in all of Newfoundland, Grand Falls-Windsor enforces this law strictly. This law applies when a designated vehicle is stopped and operating its red, blue or amber lights or has other traffic warning signals displayed. The general rule is to create a buffer lane by slowing down and putting as much distance between the driver and the stopped vehicle. If there is another lane going in the same direction and it is safe to do so, the driver must slow down and change lanes so there is a full lane between the driver and the stopped vehicle. If a second lane isn’t available, the driver must put as much distance between the vehicle and the designated vehicle that is safely possible.
IMPAIRED MEANS STOP.
Newfoundland has severe impaired driving regulations to help keep all residents safe. As of 2017, any driver whose licence was suspended after an impaired driving conviction will be required to enter a mandatory ignition interlock program as a condition of reinstatement. As well, anyone 22 years and younger are required to maintain a zero-blood alcohol content while driving. Not a risk you want to take.
PUT DOWN THE PHONE.
Fines for using a cell phone while driving are high in the province of Newfoundland, and the RNC are extremely vigilant in Grand Falls-Windsor. The current penalty is 4 demerit points with fines ranging from $350 to $1000.
FOG MEANS FOCUSED.
Newfoundland means fog, and Gander is no exception to the towns that can be hit by this extremely dangerous weather condition that is often underplayed. Drivers should slow down as driving at normal speeds in fog can be very dangerous. Slowing down means more time to react to traffic stops and potential hazards. Also, motorists should avoid using high-beam headlights in fog as fog consists of tiny water droplets that spread and reflect light. Low-beams should be used to help vehicles to be visible to one another. And last, always remain focused. Turn down the radio, stop conversations and keep attention on the road.
