ICBC offering road safety tips for Family Day weekend

If you’re planning on heading out for the long weekend, ICBC is asking drivers to use extra caution.

ICBC’s Lindsay Olsen says it’s important drivers use extra caution, especially considering the weather we’ve had.

ICBC’s top five tips include making sure your car is ready for a trip, know your route and road conditions before heading out, use your headlights, not just daytime running lights, adjust your speed to the road conditions and leave your cell phone alone.
