Drivers urged to ‘Shift into Winter’ when heading out on B.C. roads
Most people who have driven through tough Canadian winters have had that moment, when they’re suddenly – and terrifyingly aware – that they’ve lost control of the vehicle. Some folks might’ve been fortunate to regain control while others weren’t so lucky — Shift into Winter’s campaign hopes to draw attention to the hazards of winter driving, to mitigate those moments.
“No matter how much experience you have, driving in rain, fog, snow, or icy conditions can be treacherous in Revelstoke and around the Columbia–Shuswap region,” said campaign spokesperson Trace Acres, program director for RSAW in a press release.•First, the campaign recommends drivers prepare themselves, including taking the time at the beginning of the season to remind yourself about winter driving habits.
•Third, the campaign asks drivers to take the time to look at the road conditions to and from their destinations before they go. Conditions may still change, but planning the best route ahead of time can help mitigate risk. •Fifth and finally, drivers should be careful and slower in acceleration and braking. Slow control is the best way to avoid losing traction on slick roads.
