Malahat Drive, a scenic mountain pass, replaced a 19th century narrow wagon trail from #Goldstream to #CowichanValley. Nov can bring winter driving conditions on the Malahat, #BePrepared & #ShiftIntoWinter before the snow falls!

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.

Today's rainfall continues on #VanIsle. Make sure you have adequate tires, slow down & drive to the conditions! Getting caught in a hydroplaning situation depends on tire tread depth, inflation pressure & amount of water on the road.
