Have a safe Easter long weekend! As you drive to visit family and friends, an article in the Vancouver Sun yesterday provided some tips to prevent the 2,200 car accidents, 4 fatalities, and 630 motor vehicle accident injuries susatined every Easter weekend.
Some of the tips included in the article to prevent a motor vehicle accident this Easter long weekend (and at anytime of the year) are:
- map out your trip (Google Maps is a great place to look);
- be prepared for icy conditions (good condition tires, winter tires if you are heading to the Mountains);
- keep a two second distance between other cars (more is always better);
- slow down;
- focus on the road (Turn off your smartphone and enjoy your day away with the family);
- check the road conditions ahead of time by visiting DriveBC's list of webcams.
