Staying Safe on the Roads This September Long Weekend

Admin Team

29 Aug 2025 — 1 min read

Labour Day weekend is often seen as summer’s last big send-off. Families head out for one more getaway, students are making moves for the school year, and highways across the Fraser Valley and beyond see a big increase in traffic. With so many people on the move, it’s important to be prepared—both on the road and with your insurance.

Tips for Safer Travels

Busy roads don’t have to mean stressful driving. A few simple steps can make a big difference:

Plan ahead and leave early: Congestion on Highway 1 and other local routes can build quickly. Giving yourself extra time helps you avoid the rush.

Stay alert behind the wheel: Distractions and fatigue are common causes of long weekend accidents. Keep your attention on the road, take breaks when you need to, and share the driving when possible.

Give your vehicle a check-up: Before you head out, make sure tires are properly inflated, fluids are topped up, and lights are working. It’s a quick routine that can save major headaches later.

Review Your Insurance Before You Go

A safe drive is also about knowing you’re covered if something unexpected happens. Take a few minutes before the weekend to confirm that your ICBC Autoplan renewal is up to date and that any optional coverage you may need—like rental car protection or travel insurance for longer trips—is in place. Breakdowns, collisions, and theft are stressful enough without worrying about your policy.

Enjoy the Holiday with Peace of Mind

This long weekend is about spending time with family, friends, and community—not worrying about “what ifs.” By preparing your vehicle, practicing safe driving habits, and ensuring your insurance is current, you can head into the September long weekend with confidence.
