Labour Day weekend often brings heavier traffic, longer drives, cottage returns, camping trips, and end-of-summer travel across Ontario.
With more vehicles on the road, small decisions can carry greater risk.
Speeding, fatigue, distraction, following too closely, and rushing through busy areas can all increase the chance of a serious collision.
Before heading out, take time to plan your route, allow extra travel time, avoid driving tired, keep a safe following distance, and stay focused on the road.
Long weekends are meant to be enjoyed, but safer travel starts before the drive begins.
