City driving

Rural and highway driving

Tips for rural & highway driving

Speed limits are for ideal conditions. Slow down when conditions aren’t perfect.
Watch for changing speed limits in communities and work zones.
In good conditions, leave at least 2 seconds of following distance. In poor conditions or at highway speeds, leave at least 4 seconds.

Tips for city driving

Pay attention at intersections. Watch for pedestrians, speeders, and light-runners.
Watch for speed changes in communities, work zones, and around schools.

How long will your drive be today?(Required)

Short trip: Less than an hour or 50 km

Longer trip: More than an hour or 50 km

Long haul/multi-day

Tips for short trips

Know before you go. Driving may be one of the riskiest things you do on the job.
Do a mini risk assessment before leaving. Ask yourself: “What could go wrong?”

Tips for longer and long haul/multi-day trips

Build a realistic schedule so you’re not tempted to speed to make up time.
Plan your route and stops ahead of time so you’re not making decisions while driving.
Take regular breaks. Check conditions and adjust your trip as needed.
Know the warning signs of fatigue and what to do if you start feeling drowsy.

Have you checked the road and weather conditions?(Required)

For road conditions and closures, consult DriveBC. For weather forecasts, check your favourite weather app. For traffic conditions, check your GPS or traffic reports.

Yes

Not yet, but I will check conditions before I go

Are you driving in fall/winter conditions?(Required)

Rain, snow, ice, and reduced light make it harder to see and harder for your tires to grip the road.

Yes

Key tips for fall/winter driving

Check your wipers, washer fluid, and lights, heater, and defrosters.
Winter tires with the 3-peaked mountain and snowflake symbol are recommended for all winter driving. Check that your tires are properly inflated and have at least 3.5 mm of tread.
Adjust your speed and driving to match changing road, weather, and traffic conditions.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing and bring warm boots, coat, hat, and gloves in case you get stranded or stuck.
If conditions are poor, consider postponing your trip until conditions improve.

Are you fit to drive?(Required)

I’m well-rested and alert. I’m not impaired by fatigue, drugs, alcohol, medications, or any other means. I’m hydrated and recently had a healthy meal or snack.

Yes

Talk with your supervisor

Because you indicated you may not be fit to drive or aren’t confident you can drive safely, check in with your supervisor before proceeding with the trip.

Enter a message to explain why you don’t feel fit to drive. (Optional)

Does your employer have a safe driving policy and do you fully understand it?(Required)

Talk with your supervisor

Ask them to review the policy with you, and to answer any questions you have before you head out.
