Question: In Quebec, distracted driving causing a collision can result in:

Answer options:

  • A warning only ✅ Higher penalties, demerits, and possible careless-driving charge
  • No consequence
  • Insurance discount

Correct answer: Higher penalties, demerits, and possible careless-driving charge

Explanation: Quebec's Highway Safety Code strictly penalizes distracted driving to ensure road safety. If a distraction leads to a collision, drivers face severe consequences, including hefty fines, demerit points, and potentially a serious charge of careless driving or driving without due care and attention. Claiming there are no consequences, only a warning, or an insurance discount is incorrect because the SAAQ actively enforces harsh penalties to deter risky behaviors behind the wheel. On the SAAQ exam, candidates must know that distracted driving consequences escalate dramatically if an accident occurs, reflecting the province's zero-tolerance stance on mobile device misuse and general driver inattention.
