Was it just vehicle insurance or all insurance. Also the price of diesel in Golden BC is a $1.49. Most expensive place on my trip to penticton..

Am I the only one who is thinking that with the sky-rocketing fuel prices that the average driver is maybe driving just a little bit less and maybe even driving a little more conservative, which should mean LOWER INSURANCE COSTS!!!!!!!!

Good point.

Here's a new one for you. Recent survey found that people are NOT actually drving less....just thinking about it. What they are doing is taking food off the table, out of the mouths of their children. These people said that food was getting too expensive and that gas was needed to get to work to pay for all the other increases. What a catch 22. Think insurance going up 30% is going to make it any better!

Wow, what are they thinking...food...gotta have food.
We are being more careful about how much we drive, but really...we are still driving daily.

I don't know,there's no shortage of idiots doing a buck fourty in their Superdutys and Duramaxes on highway 43.

dragonlady · 06-17-2008, 08:59 PM

insurance went up today because the cap for injury is dropped and they need to compisate for all the azzes who are going to make a bogus claim. Thats what I heard today. Which pisses me off since my lawyer just settled my claim last month and it was NOT a bogus claim and I still got screwed. [ps the wrong kind, I might add]. There is no winning here, none, never, zilch ,notta. lets all bend over at the same time!!!!! on three now. one...two.......three...........

Thunderr · 06-17-2008, 09:04 PM

I filled up in Golden today $1.47 for diesel. Set the cruise at 103kmh and managed to get 21 mpg on my dic.

Sure lots cheaper running my dirtbike compared to the fuel sucking oil burning
2 smoke summit. $30.00 to fill a 20 litre jerrycan which lasts all weekend.

Anyone want to trade a 99TRD Tacoma for a diesel Jetta?

Cheers
Chris

ouch,that hurt!

Even with high priced bogus claims the insurance companies are still turning record profits. Problem is that they invest this money in the stock market and when the economy is bad and/or stocks take a hit they recoup their losses with rate hikes. Have to keep the shareholders happy.

Thing is we all balk at 37%, but then they will settle at say 15 to 20% and we will all be complacent with that. It's time to say enough is enough and settle for nothing less than a 0% increase. This goes for most of the things in life we are all being rooked into believing "have" to go up.

Us damn peace loving Canadians. They would never settle for this chit in old world Europe.
