Manitoba Moves To Strengthen Auto Accident Legislation
Manitoba introduces a bill amending the highway act to require proof of financial responsibility after accidents and to create an unsatisfied judgment fund for victims lacking resources. The measure, inspired by New York and New Hampshire laws, would impound the vehicle until proof of responsibility and deny licenses to financially insolvent motorists. It also adopts an assigned risk plan to provide coverage without forcing all insurers to assume every risk.
