ICBC has released some tips to keep you safe on the road this Labour Day weekend.

Adam Grossman with ICBC says alcohol is off limits to designated drivers.

"Everyone is celebrating the last long weekend of the year, but it's important you don't drink and drive. If you are going to have a designated driver, remember that person is the person who decides not to drink, period. It's no good having a couple of drinks and then being the designated driver for your family or your friends."

He says allowing extra time for delays and rest breaks is important, as well as being attentive at the wheel.

ICBC also suggests speeding is not the best idea, as it decreases reaction time.
