Thick fog presently on the #Malahat. Winter driving doesn’t just mean snow and ice, it’s also fog, rain, poor visibility & lack of daylight. Always drive to the conditions with your #headlightson!

Sun glare is actually a dangerous driving condition. A driver ahead may break abruptly due to blinding sun. Following too closely can lead to an avoidable incident. Drive to the conditions, use a sun visor & sun glasses as needed!

Colder Nov late night weather trends means Emcon dispatches its brine tanker units out. Pretreating roads & bridges eliminates frost & ice concerns. Risk management & assessment are key to ensure driver safety when operating a #LiveLoad.
