Whether you use your vehicle for work or leisure, take steps to reduce your risk of a crash on winter roads. WorkSafeBC, BCAA Road Safety Foundation, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association, and the other members of the Winter Driving Safety Alliance have a few tips: • First, check your local traffic and weather report or visit DriveBC.ca before heading out. Avoid driving if the weather is bad, even an hour or two can make a big difference. If you can, wait until the weather improves. If you don’t have to go, then don’t drive. • Install four matched winter tires. Winter tires provide better stopping power and traction in cold weather and snow.

A bulge in a tire is also a safety hazard that should be addressed immediately. If you have to drive, be smart. Check the conditions, make sure your vehicle is winterized, drive for the conditions and give yourself extra time, and carry an emergency survival kit. Download the following websites to your phone or bookmark them on your web browser and check them often. • DriveBC.ca is a good source of current road and travel conditions. • ShiftIntoWinter.ca has tips on how to prepare yourself and your vehicle, and how to drive safely on winter roads.
