Just having a shower thought the other day:

Why does's BC's definition of "Close family member" for many things (Ie Vehicle gifting, ending tenancy for close family member use) say that a sibling does not meet that definition?

Like I don't get it. For example my wife is a twin. She literally shared space in her mother's womb with her brother. But the government defines them as "not close"?

WTF.

The reasoning is that parents or children are "one step" from you. Siblings are technically "two steps", 1 to your parents and 2 to the sibling. Grandparents and grandchildren, same idea. Cousins are 3 steps, etc.

Sounds hot

That's insane.. siblings are 1 step. Twins are like 0.87 steps

ICBC allows siblings:

“Related individual” means:
(a) a person’s spouse (legally married or living for
a continuous period of at least 2 years with another
person in a marriage-like relationship), child, grandchild,
greatgrandchild, parent, grandparent, greatgrandparent,
or sibling, or
(b) the spouse of a person’s child, grandchild or great
grandchild, or
(c) the child, parent, grandparent or greatgrandparent of
a person’s spouse.

BC employment act also includes siblings.
The Employment Standards Act defines ‘immediate family’ as an employee’s:

Spouse
Child
Parent
Guardian
Sibling
Grandchild
Grandparent and
Any person who lives with the employee as a member of their family.
Additionally, “immediate family” includes the child or parent of an employee’s spouse.

Because...money.

Looking for recommendations for front facing toddler seats that are ideally not so bulky and don't ruin the seats they're installed in. What are some of the more car friendly car seats?

Buy a seat protector. They work.

Many car seats explicitly don't allow seat protectors, as the crash tests are done without them.

I struggled with this but eventually I came to terms that slightly creased seats is probably better than a child with a broken neck.

What? That's pretty rediculous Think about it, assuming the seat is strapped in properly, how is a piece of fabric under a seat going to change the laws of physics and suddenly make a seat unsafe?

Neither of my two car seats that I own (Graco 4 ever and Safety 1st High Back 65) make such a restriction.
The Graco actually promotes using a seat protector.

From the manual:
"Vehicle seat protection

Protect vehicle seat. Use a car seat mat, towel, or thin blanket under and behind the car seat"

People go full retard with child seats, I swear... mechanical engineers will be like "It's okay to use x gauge steel on this condo tower it will hold under all but the most intense earthquake it's rated until blah blah blah stress test this and that" but they bump their fuckin car seat against a doorframe on the way to the garage and it's like "It's compromised, throw it out, buy a new one or the baby will die"

I was never in a child seat and turned out mostly ok

I'm not this concerned about car seats at all. Freakanomics radio does a pretty good episode on the topic talking about car seats as unintended contraception, and that studies show it doesn't improve safety by much at all:
I'm just trying to provide my wife the most amount of space while sitting in front of my child who by law has to be in a car seat until some height and weight, and also preserve my car seats in the meantime. I'm happy to comply with car seat laws but was just hoping for suggestions for ones that are less bulky once they can be forward facing.

I can buy another seat protector, which I already have in my daily, but in my summer car (E88), I've seen some people remove the back headrest for car seat clearance, which seat protectors often hang from. I didn't realize I was bringing up a polarizing topic like politics or religion...

You only drool a little bit

A Chinese driver decided to turn into the passenger side of my vehicle today from the middle lane beside me when I was in the left-hand turning lane. I was turning left from 12th St onto Ash St in Vancouver. He turned into me so hard it took both my right-side wheels right off the ground.

Luckily we had a witness who saw it happen, so I'll be covered there, but I'm quite pissed off about any possible depreciation.

My car is in mint condition and I was about to sell it in the next month or so for a profit (it's a 2021).

Is there any recourse through ICBC in terms of residual value lost as a result of claim damage and repairs? Pretty sure there isn't, but I'm curious here.

Depends on the car seat,install angle, your vehicle's seat etc.

The clec fllo we used had a rounded back so it fit better between the front seats rear facing in the middle rear position.
Front facing in a rx350 was fine, but in the Odyssey and a ES350, I needed to take out/reverse the headrest. It was fine in a Rav4.

Didn't.change when I switched to a booster with back. Some vehicles needed the headrest moved, as the kid got taller.

Curious about this too, always wondered what happens when your car loses 20% of it's value to a rebuilt title or such

Oof sorry to hear dude. I think you’re f’ed unless the damage is under $2K.

Is that still the $ amount? So archaic and ridiculous if so…

Unfortunately there is no recourse. Under Enhanced Care there is no ability to recover for diminished value in your vehicle.

From Overview of Key Changes to B.C.’s Auto Insurance
Information for Auto Insurers

"Can a vehicle owner still sue for accelerated depreciation when a vehicle is damaged?
No. The ban on suing for vehicle damage applies to accelerated depreciation under the new model. In addition, BVDC does not provide coverage for accelerated depreciation. Optional insurers may offer an
Optional product that provides this type of coverage on a first party basis. "

I always wondered about this. How does a seat protector affect the car seat in any way? The car seat is locked in by LATCH anchors or the seat belt, I don't see how seat protector could affect anything. Even if the seat protector had 0 friction, the LATCH anchors or the seat belt would keep the car seat in place.

Appreciate it, didn't think so.

Man that fucking sucks, that is 2 brand new vehicles in a row in which I totally babied for 2-3 years and could've made a profit on. Both cars got into fender benders by no fault of my own. Vehicle before this got rear ended, this one, side smashed.

Damage nowadays is at minimum $5K for even minor body work, which totally fucks my resale value.
