- 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
