Just passed a few weeks ago and it's good for two years. Do the cancel insurance a day before it expires and re insure for a year trick and I'm good for 3. So if this happens looks like I won't have to go do aircare ever again!

It took a bit of nagging, but they allowed me to do another year. It had to be manually changed by ICBC.
Those cunts will try to stop you, but the law is the law. If your car is due for aircare on July 2nd, and you cancel on June 30th but buy another year on July 1st, you're still well within your legal right to do so. It's a loophole, and until it's closed they can't legally stop you.
But they will try.....  | |

What's the point of having an expiration date if you can't insure within it? That's so fucking retarded.
If I can get 2years+364 days out of my Aircare, fuck you.

Could try that changing address out of the GVRD and changing back. Worked for me before but the concern was not so much the cost as the ability to pass Aircare!

| Study to examine if AirCare should be used on diesel trucks - News1130 Quote: |

There is no consistent monitoring of pollutants pouring from diesel-powered trucks
Erin Loxam Jul 23, 2012 14:39:38 PM
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - At a time when AirCare is getting phased out, Metro Vancouver wants to bring it back for diesel trucks. A three month study may show we need it.
"Diesel is one of the most harmful forms of air pollution," explains Vancouver city councillor Heather Deal, chair of Metro Vancouver's Environment and Parks Committee. "Especially the very fine dust, the soot that comes from diesel, we know is a serious health concern."
Currently, Deal claims there is no consistent monitoring of pollutants pouring from diesel-powered trucks passing through the region, "The province currently stops trucks that have visible smoke billowing out of them and tests them. But there's no regular AirCare for them at this time and we think there should be in the future."
"We believe this should be regulated," she adds. "We believe it should come under the AirCare program. We have requested that from the province."
The three month study uses high tech Infrared and ultraviolet beams as sensors. As exhaust passes through them, they give a reading of the emissions from semi-trailer trucks, dump trucks, buses and other heavy duty vehicles. Similar technology has been used by the US Environmental Protection Agency over the last 20 years.
Deal says the $130,000 cost of the study is split among several jurisdictions.
Additionally, Deal and Metro Vancouver is calling for AirCare for regular cars to continue past 2014, extending it to 2020. |

let's just hope that this gets delayed and swept under the rug, in typical bureaucratic fashion.

Should it be allowed to live? approx. 110 jobs on the line. BCGEU makes last-gasp plea to save AirCare program
A union is appealing to Metro Vancouver in an attempt to save AirCare.
The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union is making a pitch to Metro’s environment and parks committee Thursday for support to maintain the emission-testing program for cars and light trucks — even though the provincial government has announced the Lower Mainland program will conclude in 2014.
The BCGEU’s contention is that ending AirCare will result in more pollution because about 12 per cent of all vehicles fail tests annually.
Without the required AirCare approval, those vehicles might not get repaired and would continue to produce harmful emissions.
A BCGEU study supporting AirCare, Renewing Our Commitment to Clean Air in B.C., has been endorsed by the Asthma Society of Canada, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the Sierra Club of B.C., the Environmental Youth Alliance, the Hospital Employees Union and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378.
But the study won’t get much support from Langley City councillor Gayle Martin, the vice-chairwoman of the Metro committee.
“Personally, I think AirCare has done its job and I’m happy to see it leave at the end of 2014,” said Martin Monday.
“The newer cars, they’re not polluting like they used to,” said Martin.
“What I’m concerned about is the trucks,” she said.
While Port Metro Vancouver is paying for television ads promoting the reduction of diesel emissions from vessels that now use shore-based power instead of running their engines, there are a significant number of tractor trailers and off-road equipment that only get periodic testing from mobile units.
Martin doesn’t think that’s sufficient.
“I would be happy if they had an AirCare for commercial trucks,” she said.
Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, didn’t know enough about truck emissions to address that issue but he agreed with Martin that AirCare for cars isn’t necessary anymore.
“AirCare is a program that has run its course,” he said. “The AirCare cut was the first good news for car-driving taxpayers we’ve probably had in 15 years.
“Air quality is better than ever,” said Bateman. “The problems we had in the 1990s when AirCare started, we don’t have anymore.”
AirCare’s own report about results and observations from 2011 and 2012 said emissions from light-duty vehicles decreased from 149,300 tonnes in 1992 when the program began to 18,500 tonnes in 2012 — an 89 per cent reduction.
The majority of that, 58 per cent, came from new vehicle technology but AirCare gave itself credit for 31 per cent of the reduction.
About 110 BCGEU jobs are also on the line as a result of the AirCare cancellation.

What frustrates me about this appeal, is that the BCGEU is wasting time and effort in appealing with these relatively weak arguments to save an obsolete program, instead of taking that time and trying to help find these employees positions in gov't programs that are actually useful.

Nobody has anything to worry about. It won't make a difference, AirCare is gone.

here's an idea: icbc needs to look at like a 5-10 year plan. they have all these testing facilities that will soon be a waste of space. they need to tear down the old buildings and construct drivers testing facilities. then you go out and create a bunch of jobs by training and hiring testers and all the people needed to staff the new facilities. then you implement a mandatory driver retest every 5 years. final result: more jobs, less shit drivers on the road, less accidents, lower insurance costs, less traffic, more people using public transit. holy shit i just solved a crap load of problems!!!
