As you head out to celebrate Canada Day with family and friends, remember that this is a time when B.C. roads are busier than usual with travelers.
Unsafe speed is a leading cause of fatal motor vehicle crashes in British Columbia.
It often leads to other aggressive and dangerous driving behaviours such as unsafe and sudden lane changes, tailgating or running red lights. Throughout the summer, police will be out in extra force across the province targeting aggressive drivers. Remain calm behind the wheel and allow plenty of time to reach your destination. Reduce your speed and keep your distance between vehicles. The purpose of YEI is to provide young British Columbians with an opportunity to work in the design, creation, and implementation of new and existing programs for ICBC and its partners that foster greater awareness of road safety issues among youth.
