There are many charges we are hit with that are total cash grabs. I am in the process of trying to shop around for a new auto insurance provider. The line I get is we are government mandated and the price is the price. I asked one agent "why is company B $200.00 cheaper than company C." She answers back "because it depends on the rating." I fire back" but YOU just said it's government mandated which means it should all be the same." At that point she's speechless. Here is an example of total collusion and ripping off a captive audience. It is mandatory to have auto insurance an so they can rape up without repercussions and may I add NO UNION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ASS RAPING AUTO PRIVATE AUTO INSURANCE companies carry out on us everyday.
Now, the Police set up fishing traps everywhere and nail us with minor tickets every chance they get while the insurance companies sit and wait, check your record and the 2 10 over speeding tickets you were nailed with just increased your premiums by a 1000 bucks for the next 3 or more years. Here's another one, they look at where you live. You live in Barrie and drive into work downtown Toronto everyday you pay less than a poor bugger living at let's say Dufferin and St. Clair because you supposedly are a higher risk of having an accident. The logic makes me pull my hair out.
I need a good lawyer, I want to launch a class action law suit against the Insurance Companies!!!!
I drive a 2010 SUV. I have one speeding ticket (10 over) and one accident where I was rear ended and entirely not at fault. I'm being quoted $2200.00 to $2600.00 where as last years premium was just over $1600.00.
We are being raped WITHOUT lube!!:grrrrrr:
