ICBC is asking drivers to be prepared for any winter conditions they may face to keep their Holiday road trip merry and safe.
“Plan for all weather conditions, pack an emergency kit, use winter tires, and drive slow and steady on snowy, icy roads,” Kathleen Nadalin, ICBC Road Safety Manager said.
December is the top crash month in BC which is not the kind of Holiday experience anyone wants.
In the North Central Region, ICBC said during the Christmas Holidays on average 17 people are injured in 106 crashes.
Over New Year’s on average 13 people are injured in 632 crashes.
Taking the time to prepare your vehicle and reviewing safety tips can go a long way to keeping you safe and reducing your risk of crashing.
