Drivers in Alberta may soon have to hang up their phones and stop doing other activities they shouldn't be doing while behind the wheel.
The provincial government plans to address the problem of distracted drivers this fall.
Transportation Department spokeswoman Tammy Forbes says the government is developing legislation that focuses on all types of driving distractions and behaviours.
Forbes says the legislation will go beyond cellphone use and texting and include all types of electronic devices and other behaviours that distract drivers from keeping their eyes on the road.
The legislation will be tabled about the end of October.
