Study urged on Alberta auto insurance reforms
A seven member bipartisan Alberta Legislature committee says time was insufficient for a full auto insurance study and urges more work. It recommends universal driver education in schools, continued vehicle inspection with minimal driver inconvenience, stronger penalties for driving while suspended, scrapping light sentences on first impaired driving offences, and replacing the driver review board with a driver control board plus a computerized demerit system. The panel also calls for questions on financial responsibility, compulsory basic policy, and driver versus vehicle insurance approaches. The BC report was late and incomplete, limiting provincial review.
