lol... I wouldn't mind insurance going up. Nuff cars (and pollution) in the GTA.

i've learned this injustice all too well in the last couple of years ..

it'll also irk you to know that someone who lives right across the street from me on Steeles will likely pay 40-60% less on insurance just because they have a 905 address compared to my 416 address just because statistics show that 416 drivers are more likely to get into violent accidents and does not take into consideration anything to do with population density in the GTA ..

you see insurance is high because there have been a lot of fraudulent claims in the last few years and I even remember hearing once from a broker that the insurance business is actually losing money these days ..

this problem could be solved if the Ministry of Transportation imposes mandatory driver testing every 5-10 years & better enforcing road laws but then it would cost the government too much so they'd rather download the cost to the drivers but they don't realize the human loss of life and the economical loss is greater by someone dying in an accident..

solution? try to gather support for a government that will impose more strict road laws and enforcement and also require mandatory driver testing every several years and you'll see the cost of insurance drop significantly..

- end rant ??

They don't.

There is a little loophole, but it requires an initial investment and some creative thinking...

Because the answer to that question is "get into a car, turn on ignition, shift to drive (clutch then gear if you're manual) and gas"

The biggest kick in the balls for me is that my family has 3 cars and
3 people with liscenses, thus each person has to be first driver on one car.I'm first driver on a 1994 Mercury Sable and it costs $5000 a year even though I went to driving school, have a clean driving record & my car isn't even worth $5000.

What a fucking scam.
