There are many 'hot spots' that cause accidents...ie. roads that are not designed properly. Why don't they make recommendations to the city to have these things better designed?

When someone has an at-fault accident. Have him take a refresher or safety course.

See to it that signalization maintenance is performed more than once per year.

Ensure that the salt trucks get out there cleaning & salting quickly by imposing strict rules and standards. The snow comes down and the trucks are often many hours before they're even out the door.

These are only some of the things they can do to help reduce accidents, other than raise rates. But they'd rather sit on their butts and just boost their incoming cash.

Year after year, they turn a nice profit, yet they 'need' to raise rates. I think a 525% increase is just plain stupid. How about doing what other companies do when they downsize...lay off some staff. But the unions wouldn't stand for that, right? So up the rates go.

Bunch of Aholes.

Or de-regulate insurance and open it up to competition.

I can only wish. It's Govenment insurance, so I doubt that'll happen though.

In my case, with my accident a few years ago. My group insurance paid for everything, including wages, etc. So why do I need to pay for insurance I already have?

I think they should just let us opt out, if we already have coverage or don't want it. Would save them alot of money.

If these hikes go through, I'll be looking at approx $1500 for registration/ins, then approx $2,000 in collision/theft/etc and the cost of the lisence (approx $127 for car and $127 for bike). So that's approx $3,600 CDN per year, just to ride for 6 months. Ugh! Kill me now!
