Get a ticket for a phone in your cup holder and then have to lawyer up to get it reversed?

And this is why I agree with you. I'm not saying I want it, i'm just saying I see where insurance in coming from. Police often go overboard and the repercussions are high. The last line of my post, I get it, i don't want it, but I get it.

Reading the comments on FB was interesting because it seemed like everyone hated having private insurance. Maybe that just boils down to most people wanting something that doesn't exist and they haven't figured that out yet.
I had private insurance back in AB under td meloche monnex. Insurance for 3 vehicles, full coverage, 1 600cc sport bike and 2 million liability was less than i'm paying now for 1 vehicle through ICBC. Private insurance is harsh for people with bad records, it's amazing for people who have clean records. When I was paying td I always felt like public insurance was better and i'd be paying less. I'd be so happy to be back paying private insurance.
