About those Pink Insurance Slips

(read it online here)

Favourite line:

Here’s the most important part: your pink slip must be the original.  It cannot be a photocopy.  So go ahead and leave it in your car; it’s of zero value to anyone other than you.

That photocopy fact is straight from the MoT, I went and asked.

Love the ending to this column.

While researching, I discovered something:

Ask me in real life I’ll tell you. It’s nothing super-secret, actually, it’s kind of amazingly obvious.

Lastly, HAHA my personal pink slip was printed in the paper. Security is relative.

For the first time, I don’t have a physical copy of this week’s column.  It’s been affecting me all day, my fridge collection was perfect.

If you see it this week, can you please rip it out and mail it to me.

Not sure what happened… our Auto section always runs on Wednesdays, but today it was just one page that’s it.  This was the top of the page, that’s my Civic review top right, but it printed weeks ago.  It was a confusing day.

Christmas Roads = Most Dangerous Roads

Statistically, the most hazardous road conditions are the 2 weeks around Christmas.

Why? Rural drivers on urban roads, aggression, scattered minds and so much late braking.

Favourite line:

I’m sure outside the car these are all nice people, but as drivers they terrify me. Everyone gets an extra wide berth from me, my gift to all.

If you need a ride, or you need someone to drive your car home, Operation Red Nose does a good job in 7 provinces. It’s confidential, free, and no judging – OperationRedNose.com

They’re volunteers, 100% of tips go to charity, look for their red vests.

About Car Sharing

Car sharing is picking up pace and popularity.

Here’s how it works, the advantages and disadvantages, and where the auto sharing company makes money is – late fees.

Favourite line:

Even better, is that being a member can help to build and improve your insurance history. It’s the equivalent to having your own personal auto insurance.

Still not sure why my new headshot isn’t being printed, funny though eh, you can’t tell it’s me.

Was surprised by the lack of angry emails about the last line, especially because I used the word ‘need’.
