Dangerous Driving Policy

Last Updated: October 2025

Purpose
At Catch Technologies Inc. (“Catch”), safety is a non-negotiable priority. Every driver operating on the Catch platform must drive responsibly, comply with all applicable traffic laws, and ensure the safety of riders, pedestrians, and other road users always.
Catch enforces a zero-tolerance policy for dangerous, impaired, or aggressive driving, in line with Canadian federal and provincial standards. Violations may result in immediate suspension or permanent deactivation of a Catch Driver Account.

Definition of Dangerous Driving
Under section 320.13 of the Criminal Code of Canada, dangerous operation refers to driving a motor vehicle in a manner that is dangerous to the public, having regard to all circumstances, including the nature, condition, and use of the place, and the amount of traffic present.
Examples of dangerous driving under this policy include, but are not limited to:
(a) Distracted Driving
Drivers must not engage in any activity that distracts from safe vehicle operation.
Under applicable Saskatchewan laws, including The Traffic Safety Act and related regulations, distracted driving includes:
• Using a hand-held mobile device (texting, calling, emailing, browsing).
• Programming GPS devices while driving.
• Watching or recording videos.
• Reading printed materials.
• Engaging in personal grooming (e.g., applying makeup, shaving, brushing hair).
Permitted activities (if done safely):
• Using a hands-free, voice-activated device securely mounted in the vehicle.
• Briefly touching a phone to accept or end a call in hands-free mode.
• Using GPS or music functions that were set before driving.
• Consuming light snacks or non-alcoholic beverages.
Penalties:
Under Saskatchewan law, distracted driving penalties may include fines, license suspensions, and SGI Safe Driver Recognition penalties, with escalating consequences for repeat offenses.

(b) Aggressive or Careless Driving
Aggressive or careless driving is any behavior that endangers others or creates fear, including:
• Excessive speeding or street racing.
• Tailgating or brake checking.
• Sudden, unsafe lane changes.
• Running red lights or stop signs.
• Cutting off other vehicles or pedestrians.
• Using the horn or gestures aggressively.
Such behavior may result in suspension or deactivation, even after a single verified incident.

© Driving Under the Influence
Driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or any impairing substance is strictly prohibited.
Under sections 320.14–320.19 of the Criminal Code, impaired driving offenses include operating a vehicle:
• With a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or
• With 5 nanograms or more of THC per ml of blood, or
• While impaired by any combination of alcohol and drugs.

Catch Zero Tolerance Rule:
Any driver found or reported to be impaired while using the Catch platform will immediately lose account access pending investigation. Verified cases result in permanent deactivation and may be reported to law enforcement.

(d) Failure to Follow Traffic Laws
All Catch drivers must comply with municipal, provincial, and federal laws, such as:
• Obeying all posted signs and signals.
• Yielding to pedestrians and cyclists.
• Not driving or stopping in bus lanes, bike lanes, or crosswalks.
• Adhering to posted speed limits and weather-adjusted safe speeds.
• Ensuring vehicle registration, insurance, and licensing are valid and current.

Reporting and Investigation
(a) How Reports Are Made
Riders can report unsafe or dangerous driving by:
• Submitting a report in the Catch app under “Trip Issues → Unsafe Driving”;
• Calling Catch’s customer support hotline; or
• Emailing admin@gotocatch.com.
Reports should include the trip time, location, and a brief incident description.
(b) Catch’s Review Process
Catch’s Safety & Compliance Team reviews each report and may:

Verified dangerous driving may result in:

© Protection Against False Reports
Catch maintains advanced fraud-detection systems to identify false or malicious reports.
If a report is determined to be unfounded, it will not impact a driver’s account status. Riders submitting fraudulent claims may lose access to the Catch platform under the Village Guidelines.

Legal Compliance and Cooperation
Catch fully cooperates with Saskatchewan and Canadian law enforcement authorities in cases involving serious or criminal driving behaviour.
Drivers are expected to comply with all legal requests related to investigations, including providing documentation and witness statements if required.
Failure to comply with Catch’s Dangerous Driving Policy may also breach the Driver Platform Access Agreement and result in contractual termination.

• Drivers may be required to complete remedial training before reinstatement.
• Annual re-screenings and continuous monitoring ensure compliance with evolving Canadian laws.
