Summer holidays have officially arrived and police would like to remind everyone travelling to plan ahead and ensure friends or family know when to expect you and how to contact you. Police throughout the Province receive multiple calls daily for overdue travelers and requests to locate people as a result of an emergency at home.

Travellers should:
Check Drive BC for current road conditions, detours, and construction
Check your vehicle prior to leaving to ensure it is in good working order
Make sure someone knows your route and when to expect you
Notify friends and family if you are delayed
Keep your fuel tank above half a tank in case you get stuck in construction or have to make an unplanned detour (this also prevent fuel pumps from overheating and burning out)
Carry lots of water and snacks for unexpected delays
Allow yourself plenty of time to reach your destination
Carry a cell phone with you
If you are going to be away for a period of time ensure someone is looking after your house and checking it on a regular basis. This may also be a requirement of your insurance company.
