Majority of Manitobans concerned about distracted driving: survey

(File photo) A recent survey conducted by CAA Manitoba found that distracted driving and speeding are the top two safety concerns in the province. An online survey conducted in February 2025 found that 88 per cent of Manitoba drivers 'feel somewhat or very concerned about distracted driving,' while nearly half of the 506 adult drivers admitted to being distracted drivers. 'We know that drivers who text are far more likely to be involved in a crash or near-crash compared to non-distracted drivers,' said Ewald Friesen, manager, government and community relations for CAA Manitoba, in a news release. The survey by DIG Insights also revealed that 13 per cent of drivers reported being directly involved in a collision due to distracted driving, while over half of Manitobans believe that increasing fines and penalties can discourage such behaviour. 'What is most concerning, however, is that currently, Manitoba does not have a specific distracted driving law, which could help deter distracted drivers and increase road safety,' said Friesen. Meanwhile, a separate survey conducted in March 2025 revealed that 82 per cent of the 500 adult drivers believe speeding is a problem this year. The same survey showed that 65 per cent of drivers support automatic speed enforcement cameras, though Winnipeg currently remains the only municipality in the province with the right to use photo enforcement, per the CAA news release.

DAHON Announces the Renaming of "D-VELO" Technology to "DAHON-V"

SHENZHEN, China , July 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- As a global leader in folding bicycles, DAHON has always been driven by innovation. Following strong industry recognition after over a year of global exhibitions and media promotion, DAHON officially announces the renaming of its "D-VELO" technology to DAHON-V. The "V" stands for "Victory," symbolizing the evolution and triumph of DAHON's advanced engineering. Origins and Innovation DAHON-V technology stems from a critical "rethinking" of traditional bicycle frame design, leading to a suite of technology and testing methods engineered to improve the speed of both folding and road bikes: Folding Bikes: Introducing the DELTECH and Super Down Tube, DAHON significantly enhanced frame stiffness, overcoming the typical weakness of single-beam folding frames. As a result, the bikes deliver faster speeds, greater safety, and enhanced durability. Road Bikes: Applying DAHON-V principles, DAHON optimized frame structures to minimize power loss, delivering greater efficiency, stiffness, and riding performance. Product Highlights DAHON unveiled a lineup of innovative new products at EUROBIKE 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany , drawing widespread attention with its DAHON 2.0 Campaign backed by its proprietary DAHON-V bike tech promising improved performance across all lines of products. Taking the spotlight at the show include the following products: Télodon C8 AXS: A folding carbon road bike combining portability with high-speed performance, featuring the internal V-lock system and enhanced frame stiffness. Vélodon C8 Di2: DAHON's first full carbon road bike equipped with DAHON-V technology, including SRAM electronic shifting and UDH system, built for pure speed. Major media outlets such as Global Cycling Network (GCN) and BikeRadar also graced the occasion to report on the product showcase. Future Outlook Looking ahead, DAHON will continue to expand the DAHON-V through: Advanced material development (carbon composites and high-performance alloys) Smart integration (adaptive e-bike systems) Ecosystem building (standardizing DAHON-V technology across all categories) Through strategic partnerships with research institutions and industry leaders, DAHON is committed to shaping the future of cycling — delivering lighter, faster, and smarter mobility solutions for riders worldwide.
