Each day, six people die on Canadian roads

This year so far, nearly 1,500 people have died and another 112,000 were injured in road crashes, most of which were avoidable. We can reduce these numbers through safer driving habits; avoiding alcohol, drugs, speeding, texting, fatigue, and by always buckling up. Every action we take to use the roads responsibly will help reduce the risk of collisions, prevent suffering and save lives.

Road safety starts with everyone who uses the road – it is a shared responsibility. On November 23, Transport Canada reminds all road users to share the road safely, and to remember the victims of road collisions and their loved ones.
