Here are some of
the statements and positions taken by our club on road safety |
| |

The BMW Car Club of BC endorses safe driving in all our events. We are careful to plan trips that adhere to proper safe driving guidelines and the enjoyment of our trips. We encourage all our members to drive safely. Members are responsible for their own road safety on trips by obeying the driving laws of our province or the region we take our trips in.
We have a set of guidelines called Road Rules that we recommend for our outings and day trips, since traveling as large groups of enthusiasts to a destination can be a challenge.

As a member club of
the BMW Club of
Canada, we are also a member club of the International Council
of BMW Clubs, and as such we promote and adhere to the International
Council stated guideline in the constitution which states: 'To
provide a special image to the public including compliance with
traffic laws and regulations' |

|
We provide a selection of Driver Training Schools, available to both
members and non members. These schools are intended to improve
safe driving skills, driver awareness, and an understanding of
vehicle dynamics as they relate to car control and safety. |

We originally found a site here in BC operated by the Vancouver Island Traffic Services (the site is no longer active due to the official languages thing)- Central Highway Patrol division of the RCMP that had excellent information about road safety, vehicle regulations and other useful information. We even used publish some of their 'Behind the Wheel' series articles in our club newsletter. The Behind the Wheel info is provided by Tim Schewe, and he posts his tips regularly in the club forum. As of September 2005 Tim will be retiring from his years of duty with the RCMP, but the valuable info in his articles is still available at the following link Behind the Wheel |

The folks at SENSE BC have posted some interesting information about road speeds as they relate to safety. After all is said and done it seems that common sense and not exceeding your abilities or a safe speed for the conditions still matters a lot. |
