I got into a car crash (my fault over a year ago). I lost my N licence and was prohibited from driving for 6 months but it took ICBC 6 months to process this so as a result, I could drive for a full. Year. I have to pay 450$ a month insurance and a yearly fine of 750$ on my birthday and had to redo my N.
I've had 0 accidents, but 2 speeding tickets in over 10+ years of driving. My husband, who has flipped and totalled his car, plus 3 years ago had to have the breathalyzer for a year, etc. Apparently has cheaper insurance than me. How? Such a RIP-off!!! But I have to drive so I have to gork over the money. ICBC should be trashed and bring on companies we could choose cheaper rates from so they compete. I am so livid! May as well go get into an accident or drink and drive apparently, maybe then I'll have cheaper insurance!
Having only one insurance provider (ICBC) is a disaster for BC ...
endless multi charges for a single fault
you have to pay ticket and pay point premium

ICBC is the biggest scam in BC history. Pay your money to them for YEARS without any tickets or any issues at all, then BAM - get a ticket. Not only do you pay for the ticket itself...but then you pay a DPP penalty depending on how many points your tickets for the year incurred THEN, on top of that, you also get an increase to your insurance. So for the two tickets I received in the last 12 months ($365 and $165), I had to pay the tick amounts, $360 DPP penalty fine, and an extra $100 on my insurance for the year...so we're talking $1000 paid total so far, and the tickets themselves were only $530 of that. Unbelievable...especially considering before these last 12 months, I hadn't received a single ticket in several years. Not one single ticket. Not one single accident I was at fault for. Nothing. Such a joke of a company.
