Promoting road safety since 1913
Driving the highways and back roads of Canada is a great freedom, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility to ensure your safety and that of others on the road.
We're your advocates on the road
Since its inception, CAA has led conversations about road safety for all Canadians on a range of issues, from distracted driving or speeding to driving high or not slowing down for emergency vehicles.

Your car fits your lifestyle. Do you fit your car?
It doesn't take much to ensure the right fit in your car, from the babyseat to the driver's seat. Take the time to learn how small adjustments make driving safer.
Even a little buzz is too much
Cannabis, like alcohol and recreational drugs, should never be consumed if you plan to get behind the wheel. Stay sober and safe.
Eyes on the road, not on your phone
Whether it's fiddling with your phone, the radio, a cold beverage or anything else, distracted driving is a major cause of accidents and even death.
Slow down, move over
Across North America, nearly 100 tow truck drivers are killed each year after being struck by oncoming traffic while helping stranded motorist. To raise awareness, CAA created the National Day of Safety for Tow Truck Operators on the second Tuesday in May.
Roads and highways are the workplaces for those helping to clear the road, motorists are reminded to please slow down and move over. It’s not just a courtesy, it’s the law: failure to move over could cost drivers between $490 and $2,000, plus three demerit points.
