ICBC rates to go up again next year?
B.C. motorists could get hit with higher vehicle insurance rates next year - Yahoo! News
".....B.C. motorists could get hit with higher vehicle insurance rates next year
By The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – 15 minutes ago
....tweet0EmailPrint......VANCOUVER - B.C. drivers could get hit with increased vehicle insurance rates next year.
ICBC spokesman Mark Jan Vrem says the public insurer will file a rate application with the BC Utilities Commission by the end of the year to get approval for higher rates.
Jan Vrem says basic rates are under pressure because of rising injury costs at a time when more people are on the road due to an improved economy.
He says the basic rates was reduced by 2.4 per cent last year but the insurer hadn't anticipated the economy would recover so fast.
He also says wet driving conditions this rainy summer have led to more collisions on B.C. roadways.
Jan Vrem says drivers will pay more next year if the utilities commission approves the hike, but he doesn't know how much more.

Actually minumum wage is going up, but it doesnt make a difference seeing as the average person makes more then minimum wage. There should be an all around increase in everyones wage, not just people who make minumum.

It's insane considering their investments make them millions in profit every year.
It doesn't help that the government keeps taking money from the ICBC "bank" to use for other things.

It has nothing to do with bc drivers, they've made several attempts to increase revenue over the last year and none of them have stuck. this is just the next attempt.
