‘Slow Down This May Long Weekend’ - ICBC

ICBC is encouraging BC drivers to slow down this Victoria Day long weekend.

In a tweet, the group says that over the Victoria Day long weekend, on average, two people are killed and 480 people are injured in crashes in B.C, with speed being a top contributing factor in these crashes.

Police will be targeting speeding drivers with increased enforcement this long weekend in support of a safe driving campaign.

ICBC also notes that with the warm weather comes more motorcyclists, pedestrians, cyclists, and recreational vehicles on the roads; further reason to check your speed.

Over the May-long, on average, 61 people are injured in 260 crashes on Vancouver Island every year.
