As conditions shift toward wet and icy roads, BC Highway Patrol is warning drivers that posted speed limits apply only in ideal conditions.

“You can get a speeding ticket even when you’re driving below the posted speed limit,” said Superintendent Mike Coyle.

“In bad weather or darkness, you are legally obligated to drive more carefully.”

Under the Motor Vehicle Act, drivers can be fined $196 for going too fast in poor weather, even if they’re within the posted limit.
