The BC Highway Patrol would like to remind drivers to take care when on the roadways. Speeding is one of the greatest factors in serious injury/fatal collisions. As we are shifting into winter, road conditions can change rapidly.
With the upcoming snow and freezing temperatures predicted, the BC Highway Patrol urges drivers to adjust your speed as conditions worsen.
