Posted in: ,

The public consultation process for ICBC rate changes is open through to April 5, 2018. Go to http://engage.gov.bc.ca/ratefairness/ to submit a response.

British Columbians can provide feedback on how ICBC should use claims and driver experience in determining basic insurance premiums, giving greater discounts to low-risk drivers and balancing basic insurance prices to reflect increased risk with driver behaviour or location.

“Drivers have been saying for years that the system would be more fair if low-risk drivers paid less for their vehicle insurance, while high-risk drivers paid more. This engagement is one way government is giving drivers the power to shape ICBC and restore public confidence in our public insurer.

British Columbians can provide feedback on how ICBC should use claims and driver experience in determining basic insurance premiums, giving greater discounts to low-risk drivers and balancing basic insurance prices to reflect increased risk with driver behaviour or location. We are committed to reducing high-risk behaviours that put people in danger. This increased premium cost puts distracted driving on par with impaired driving and excessive speeding. We need distracted drivers to put down their phones and drive.” – Attorney General, David Eby
