Four-fifths of B.C. drivers couldnB次元官网网址檛 pass their driving test if they took it again today, an Insights West survey released Thursday suggests.
The Insurance Corporation of B.C., which commissioned the report, says it has seen a 23-per-cent jump in crashes between 2013 and 2016.
That, director of strategic sourcing and asset management Chris Hancock said, adds up to 875 crashes per day, or 36 collisions around the province per hour.
