    National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims

    November 17, 2024, is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Every day, nearly 4,000 lives are lost in road crashes, leaving countless families devastated. Let’s honour them by driving safely and making our roads safer for everyone. #WDoR2024 #RoadSafety

    • Speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving are top causes of crashes in B.C. You can help change that. Choose to drive safer. By staying focused and mindful, you can save lives, including your own. #VisionZeroBC #NDRRCV
    • From 2018-2022, an average of 284 deaths occurred each year in BC due to road crashes. Let’s remember those lives lost and take every measure to prevent more tragedies. Drive safe, B.C. #NationalDayOfRemembranceForRoadCrashVictims
    • The age groups most affected by road crashes in BC are 56-65 years old, accounting for 16% of fatalities, followed by ages 46-55 and 26-35, each at 15%. These numbers are a sobering reminder that road safety impacts us all. Drive safe, no matter your age. Be a good example every time you drive—slow down, stay focused, and never drive impaired. #VisionZeroBC #RoadSafety
    • Nearly 20% of traffic fatalities in BC happen in November and December. It’s a reminder that safety on the road is crucial year-round. Always stop fully at stop signs—it’s not just a rule, it’s a lifesaver. #DriveSafe #ArriveAlive
