Don’t slam on the brakes, just let it coast to a stop and get out quietly.
Chat with the guys driving work trucks and ask where they are having problems.
Southern AB has black bears that are eaten by grizzlys and chased by Calgary hunters, they learn not to be in the open.
Now finding black bears in the fall is a whole different story. I’m only interested in a blueberry-fattened blubber bear, and have yet to see one after July. Go figure

I'll second this point about SW AB grizzlies. I killed a small black bear completely by chance about 6 years ago while I was bowhunting for elk in the fall. It's the only black bear I've seen in that unit ever. I have seen plenty of big grizzlies though!
