dear Occasional
you would have to say where you live
every province has different regs ...
and if you are over 60 there is the grey power insurance through CARP

but the province you live in may have a lot more to say about what insurance
companies can do
check out your provincial insurance act
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
