It’s (not quite) the 24th of May… but if you’re going to get away, make sure you do it safely!
The long weekend doesn’t just mean an extra day off, it means more people heading out of town on our highways.
If you’re hitting the road, plan ahead, check road conditions and keep speeds down as you travel. Give yourself plenty of time to get where you’re going. And never, ever drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Whether you’re up in the woods or going out the bay, travel smart and enjoy a safe May long weekend!
