BC govt going to make quad ins mandatory

[Thunderr]

I know a guy who had a head on in Revelstoke. The guy at fault had no liability insurance and had to pay from his pocket to fly the driver and his sled out, and fix his sled. Good thing he didn't have to pay for lost wages seeing as how it was the slow season for the other sledder.

A person could be ruined financially for life by trying to save a couple of bucks.

Cheers

[RANT]Too bad you will be put in jail as their is no property rights in Canada, read up on it. You are better off parking the atv IN YOUR HOUSE, IN YOUR BEDROOM !


IMO, people need to put up or shut up, time to start voicing your opinion,... its YOUR government voted BY THE PEOPLE!! PERIOD.
I didn't pay $12,000 for an atv/utv/sled/watercraft just so it can be stolen by some YAHOO from BC for their leisure.[/RANT]

I wouldnt shoot the person but if you were looking down the wrong end of a gun I dont think you would mess with the guy and probaly put the quad back for him right. I am just saying it is bull sh%t. my quad is old and cost me like 700.00 dollors so the day I pay over a grand to insure the thing then have to pay close to a grand when and if it goses missing to get what maybe 500.00 back not going to happen. whats the goverment going to do take my quad still cheaper to but anthor old quad then insure the dam thing.and FYI I didnt vote for the people in power right now my vote didnt do a dam thing

I dont know this guy but I was told that it is reasons like that that is way BC insurace is so much for rec vichle,sledders and quadders going into places they shouldnt be and wreaking their toys then insteed of paying the money to get it out like your frined did leave it trouch it it and sy it was stolen. I am not saying I dont going into some areas where it would be easy to do and get away with but the insurace rates will just keep going higher. I was in to onion lake a couple years back and there was a quad in the bottom of a canyon no way of riding it down or back out.....insurace probaly payed for thieift on that one

mavrick, sorry if I wasn't clear. This took place in Revelstoke 3years ago, on the trail. The specifics I forget but goes something like this, buddy in a rush and going fast (not sure if heading in or out) and not staying on his side of the trail and for whatever the reason (corner?) drifts out and smokes a guy. Buddy knew he was in the wrong so he ante'd up right away.

My point being is there are a thousand things that can and do go wrong yearly sledding.

As a wise old pilot told me once "Pie plating me boy....cover your ----"

Cheers

I was thinking the same thing.........

just another cash grab! Just like the boater licencing! Hope you enjoy paying $1000 a yr plus to keep a bunch of tree huggers happy.

Lighten up guys. Ins is already mandatory to ride FSR and Crown land. Any other ins is optional. I pay $100.00 per yr per quad for two million liability. Ins is to cover damage to environment, starting forest fires, or collision with someones property.

Forestry, C.O., & Polic.e look after enforcement and can issue tickets right now.

No one cares if you are insured for theft, just you.

Registration & license should be of no concern if you ride responsibly ( & I don't mean Grandma style).

If memory serves, they were checking paperwork at Allan Creek 1 weekend last winter, and found some sleds that were stolen. More random checks please.

my only issue is that any one of my 3 atv's is more expensive to insure than my 08 toyota tundra, now that i will be buying a sled this year for insurance on all of them i could almost buy a new one each year instead of insuring.
