The responsibility for safety on the roads lies with each individual driver, and Constable Martin emphasized the importance of being prepared, cautious, and responsible while enjoying our well-deserved break.
He also says that staying safe in the water is also something that everyone should keep in mind, especially if they’re out on a watercraft.
