As a driver, you actually have a lot of control over the risks you face on the road. Knowing the best way to deal with the everyday situations you encounter will help ensure you reach your destination safely.

ICBC's mission statement is "to help British Columbians take the risk out of road transportation". ICBC is fully engaged in reducing crashes and their heavy costs.

ICBC invests in road safety because it makes good business sense. By working hard to prevent crashes, we reduce claims costs, which helps keep your insurance premiums down.

Unsafe speed and aggressive driving are estimated to cost ICBC $550 million in claims each year. The dollar value is staggering, but even worse is the heartbreak it represents for crash victims and their friends and families.

We all benefit from safer roads, because fewer crashes mean fewer insurance claims for injuries and wrecked cars. So projects in road safety engineering are an investment for ICBC, not a cost.
