The policy resolution was presented at UCP"s annual general meeting in Edmonton at the end of November, receiving about 75% support on the convention floor.

"This approach encourages safer driving behaviours and ensures that only legitimate claims are compensated." But "Alberta drivers should be quite concerned" by the call…...

19+ hour, 53+ min ago (522+ words) OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The icy roads increase the chances of a crash involving another vehicle. For most drivers that means exchanging information. But proof of insurance provided by the other driver may not mean your repairs are covered. Most accidents without injuries require drivers to exchange information, but verifying proof of insurance can be a real pain.

"The gentleman driving the truck was clearly at fault. He did not…...

In simple terms, insurers award a percentage discount based on years of claim-free driving, but those are two distinct measures. The discount may stop increasing after a certain point, but the number of claim-free years shouldn't. To understand how widespread this issue is, we contacted a range of insurers to ask how they document long-standing NCD. Their responses, as well as publicly available information, reveal a patchwork of practices: The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has published clear guidance on the matter, stating: "If a customer has a higher no-claims bonus than you'll accept, we'd still expect you to provide proof of the amount…...
