Fall brings rain showers & wet roads - at times, not the most ideal driving conditions. Many vehicle incidents can be avoided by planning ahead, opening following distance & watching your speed. Drive to the conditions!

Today's rainfall continues on #VanIsle. Make sure you have adequate tires, slow down & drive to the conditions! Getting caught in a hydroplaning situation depends on tire tread depth, inflation pressure & amount of water on the road.

Early morning lower temps are slowly coming. Bridge deck open structures do not trap heat & are subject to freezing before a road. #SlowDown & #ShiftIntoWinter, drive accordingly & check #DriveBC for weather & road conditions. #WinterDriving

Fewer daylight hours in the fall & winter have us driving to & from work in the dark. Daytime running lights on "most" newer vehicles don't turn tail lights on. Don't be a hazard to others, manually turn your lights on to be seen!
