The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) and British Columbia Highway Patrol have been working together to warn drivers about the risks of speeding.
Police were visible throughout BC over May’s Victoria Day long weekend with increased enforcement focused on excessive speeding and other high-risk driving behaviours.
During Victoria Day long weekend in 2025, police issued more than 2,800 speeding tickets throughout the province.
“Slowing down is the simplest way you can stay safe and avoid a crash,” said Kathleen Nadalin, ICBC road safety manager.
“It gives you more time and control to react if something unexpected happens.”
Speed is a top contributing factor in crashes over the Victoria Day long weekend, with an average of three people killed and 536 people injured in crashes in BC in every year, according to ICBC.
