What if your insurance company could take away your driver's license? It "can" in western Canada, where Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) is the province's mandated auto insurance provider "and" operates its motor vehicle department. In 1973, the provincial government formed the insurer, which also provides safety training, licensing, fine collection, and maintenance of driver records. The average policy costs under $600, with no distinctions made based on age or sex. Of course, bad drivers are penalized, and drivers whose vehicles have anti-whiplash devices get a discount. Facing stiff competition in the auto insurance business, ICBC is cutting some 10% of its workforce (some 700 people) by the end of 2001.
