Safe Summer Driving Practices

During the warm summer months, family road trips and long drives to the cottage are a regular occurrence. With that in mind, it’s important to prioritize awareness and safety on the roads.

Here are a few safety tips from the Canada Safety Council to help ensure that your next family road trip is a safe one:

• Before leaving, ensure all parts of your vehicle are working properly
• Make sure every person in your vehicle is wearing a seatbelt
• Stay within the maximum speed limit posted on signs along your route
• Remain alert while driving and take breaks regularly
• Make sure your vehicle is properly equipped to carry a heavy load or tow a trailer
• Share the road with cyclists, motorcycles and pedestrians
