Hit bad drivers in wallet, make training mandatory
The B.C. government’s latest public-input exercise is underway and this time it’s about auto insurance.
The overall objective is logical: make bad drivers pay more for insurance, while good drivers pay less.
Nothing gets people’s attention and modifies behavior like hitting them in the pocket book if they don’t follow the rules. Together with a fine of a couple of thousand dollars for distracted driving, tougher insurance guidelines should make a big difference.
And, we’re being asked for our opinions.
