Holiday weekend roads

You're more likely to be involved in a collision while travelling on a holiday weekend than during any other time of the year.

If alcohol is involved, your chance of being in a collision on the long weekend almost doubles.

Drinking and driving increases the likelihood of a collision by 46% during long weekends, resulting in an increase of injuries by 75% and deaths by 31%.

So remember, buckle up, never drink and drive and take your time. After all, it is the long weekend.
