ICBC
Current Road Safety Campaign:
Summer CounterAttack Campaign
This July and August, police are stepping up roadchecks to catch impaired drivers. Even if you’ve had a couple of drinks, it’s not OK to drive.
BC’s tough new drinking and driving laws take effect this fall and harsher penalties will begin at .05 BAC. We’re reminding everyone, before you take that first sip, make a smart choice: designate a driver, save money for a cab or take transit.
We are all ambassadors for the CounterAttack campaign, and can help to influence others by encouraging people to make smart choices. When you’re celebrating or relaxing with friends, help to keep our roads safe and have an enjoyable summer.

Making BC's Roads Safer
An overwhelming majority of British Columbians support restricting cell phone use by drivers.
Beginning January 1, typing, texting or dialing on a handheld cell phone or any handheld portable electronic device while driving will be subject to a $167 fine and a penalty of 3 points. Driving is complex and needs your full attention. These changes will help us all stay focused on driving and make BC's roads safer for everyone.
Driver Penalty Point Premium and Driver Risk Premium
Drivers with more driving offences or convictions get involved in more crashes than other drivers - twice as many, in fact. Customers tell us that those drivers should pay more for the higher risks and related claims costs they represent on our roads. That's why we are replacing the Driver Penalty Point (DPP) premium with the Driver Risk Premium (DRP). DRP will be introduced in two phases.
More information is available for, DRP and DPP here.
