December 27, 2019. Even though there many different holidays celebrated in the early winter, the time between Christmas Eve (December 24th) and midnight on New Year’s Day (January 1st) are labeled as the Christmas season.
Despite the overall decrease in local traffic volume at Christmas because of the number of people traveling for the holiday, periods of increased traffic intensity make this time of year particularly hazardous and the following statistics indicate the potential for problems.
From our neighboring province (British Columbia), a road safety survey from ICBC of a recent five-year period showed an average of 510 injuries and 2 fatalities in 1890 vehicle crashes during the Christmas period. This means that over a barely weeklong holiday period, there were 35 crashes and 9 related injuries per day.
Driving to get-togethers and meals to be with friends and family fills the Christmas season. Being informed and taking a few precautions can lead to safer journeys and return trips for everyone out in the holiday traffic.
transportation another way: use a designated driver, take a taxi, use public transportation.
Prior to the Christmas holiday, many people have already winterized their vehicles, but some things are worth checking before driving at this time of year.
