As summer travel continues across the province, the Alberta RCMP are encouraging all drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and exercise patience around inexperienced motorists to help prevent collisions during the busy summer season.

- Be patient. New drivers are still learning and may drive more slowly or cautiously. Giving them time and space can help them build their skills safely.

- Allow extra following distance. Keep a safe gap between your vehicle and a learner’s vehicle — they may brake suddenly or hesitate as they learn.

- Pass with care. Only pass new drivers when it’s completely safe to do so, and avoid honking, tailgating, or aggressive moves that could startle them.

- Stay alert and respectful. Recognize that everyone was once a beginner. Offering courtesy and understanding helps create safer roads for everyone.

RCMP are reminding the public to be cautious when searching for rental housing after reports of scams involving fake listings and fraudulent landlords.

These scams can take different forms. In some cases, individuals respond to rental ads, view a property, sign an agreement, and pay a deposit—only to later discover that someone else also claims to have legitimately rented the same home. In other situations, scammers pressure renters to send money or personal information before a viewing or proper agreement is in place, then stop all communication once payment is received.

Watch for warning signs:
• Pressure to send a deposit quickly
• Refusal to meet in person or show the property
• Below-market rent that seems “too good to be true”
• Requests for money before a lease is signed
• Limited or missing landlord identification/details

Protect yourself:
• Always view the property in person
• Verify ownership and listing details
• Complete and sign a proper tenancy agreement
• Avoid sending money without verification
• Use traceable payment methods when possible
• Get a second opinion before committing

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and take time to verify.

- Wear a helmet every ride
- Make sure it fits snug and level on the head
- Replace helmets that are damaged or involved in a crash
- Wear bright or reflective clothing to improve visibility
