Tis the season to be extra careful when driving.
Crashes increase significantly during winter months in B.C. Last December, 29,053 crashes were reported to ICBC — an average of nearly 1,000 a day, according to a news release by Road Safety at Work.
Claims for injuries from work-related crashes rise in December, according to WorkSafeBC statistics.
“Driving in winter is different from other times of the year and it’s more dangerous,” said Trace Acres, program director for Road Safety at Work and spokesperson for the Shift into Winter safety awareness campaign.
