    Not at fault accident - How does this affect insurance when switching providers

    When I moved to the GTA many years ago my wife was involved in 2 Not At Fault accidents in about 6 months (rear ended on QEW and red lighter runner near Square 1). At that time my insurance company said that even though they were declared not at fault they were looking at her policy to see if...

    Who’s Still a Reasonable Option for SS

    Try TD Melloche. I have similar demographics (although not in Brampton) and pay $775 for my 2008 Triumph Daytona. Full coverage including Collision. Key to a good rate at TD is to see if you meet any of their affinity programs. My University has an affinity program with them and it dropped...

    Motorcycles may be allowed in HOV lanes?

    Exceptions already exist for Green Vehicles to use HOV lanes with only the driver. Motorcycles are already allowed to use HOV lanes as long as there is a rider and a passenger.

    My bike was hit in a parking lot

    To the OP, hope the repairs work out OK even if there are no charges against the truck driver. Similar thing happened in Ottawa. I was in a parking look walking up to my bike when I saw a car sideswipe another car while backing out of their parking sport. The driver slowed down a little then...

    Rant : Allstate rate increase by 65% for no reason

    Not enough info for a reply other than to say, Shop Around. To provide a better reply, info such as age, years riding, tickets/convictions, year/model of bike and finally, what was your insurance coverage and quote vs. your renewal coverage and quote.

    [RANT] Getting so sick of the insurance industry in this god damned province

    To all the people drinking the Ontario Koolaid, use one of the on-line quote systems to get a quote on your current ride in another Province (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are good examples). I moved to Ontario years ago and was so shocked at the Insurance Rates I said screw it and sold my...

    Alberta to allow turban-wearing Sikhs right to ride motorcycles without helmets

    The "sin taxes" are already baked into the price of drink and cigarettes (and soon weed) so the users of those products are already funding the system (of course we can't expect the Government to be accountable for how they spend these taxes).

    Alberta to allow turban-wearing Sikhs right to ride motorcycles without helmets

    I have 2 issues with this (similar to what others have mentioned). 1) I disagree with a "religious" exemption for this law. Either make the exemption available to everyone or no one. 2) I feel that any exemption should come with an additional requirement for increased insurance coverage...

    Please read before getting quotes

    I had the same issue years ago when I bought my Daytona. I got a quote on the bike (Triumph only made one model of Daytona in 2008. ) from TD. Based on the quote I bought the bike and got the "oh, based on the VIN that's not the bike we quoted on" response. No amount of reasoning with them...

    Goodbye Brampton

    Congrats on the retirement and the "Smart" move to Nova Scotia. I'm just a few years away from retirement and moving back to NS is high on my list of things to consider. Even though I don't live in Brampton (Ottawa) I checked my insurance and it will drop from an already stupid low rate of...
