Why Insurance Rates r high in Canada?

1. Floating on Oil Vs. Excessive hard work.
2. Our overseas D/experience isn't counted.
3. Harsh winder driving conditions - force multiplier to claims.
4. Unnecessary/fictitious claims by many.
5. Falsified claims; declined; lead to litigations - usually won by the dubious claimants.
6. Lesser quantity of clients.
7. An unwritten rule/way to keep unnecessary drivers off-the-roads.

Qorax,

Is Insurance specific to a vehicle or to a person?
Supposing we (me & my spouse) want to drive the same car, so will it be 2 separate premiums or 1?

Thanks...

1. It is a mix of each -- vehicle, person, North American driving exp AND your residence location* in Canada.
2. One insurance with 2 names added [Primary driver & Occasional driver].

*Big time factor !

Thanks for your prompt reply Qorax...

If I ask them to affix my pp size picture on the letter... that will suffice the requirement.
