Taxi coupons hoped
to make roads safer

IT’S A new venture in averting needless tragedy, said
ICBC vice-president of Insurance Operations Mike
McCarthy recently, as he joined with Lyall Hanson,
Minister of Labor and Consumer Services, to inelp
kick off Road Safe — a new traffic safety program.

Developed by ICBC’s Traffic Safety Education
department, in cooperation with !@ Lower Mainland
taxi companies and 7-Eleven food stores, Road Safe
provides taxi gift certificates for people to use as an
alternative to riding with an impaired driver.

As part of the campaign, Road Safe packets will be
available at 9G 7-Eleven stores throughout the Lower

eer weet Ces

Mainiand. The packets cost $15 each and contain $15
worth of taxi fare coupons, $12.50 worth of product
coupons, and an educational brochure. The coupons
are completely transferrable.

During November, the program is being marketed
to parents for use by their teenagers or other children.

In December, the focus will switch to adults, urging
them to make a sober decision to buy Road Safe be-
fore they go celebrating.

Other participating sponsors in the venture are
CKNW, Coke, Palm Dairies and the Vancouver
Canucks.
