It’s the unofficial start of summer for many across the country but according to the results of a survey conducted by a Canadian insurance aggregator, plenty of people will be engaged in dangerous behavior over the May long weekend.
The research, conducted by Insurance Hotline, found that almost 13 per cent of Canadians intend to travel to the cabin over the weekend, despite health advisories in most provinces to curb any travel.
A further 41 per cent preferred not to say whether or not they intended on heading to cottage country. Similarly, 34 per cent of people surveyed admitted they’d likely take advantage of less-busy highways and speed this weekend — even if it’s only 5-15 km/h over the limit.
