RBC Insurance Is Looking into Winter Tires

Bad news: 57% of our fellow Ontarians chose not to drive on winter tires. Good news: the number was reported by RBC Insurance, the company that bothered to look into the problem and pay for the survey.

There must have been enough people having smashed their cars and caused harm to themselves and others around to motivate insurance business to get their ass of the chair. Unfortunately they are still begging people to get smart and start using winter tires in winter. They should probably make one more step and offer incentives to those using certified winter tires November through March in Ontario.

Try to rent a vehicle with winter tires installed during winter season in Ontario. I challenge you to call your local car rental office and ask them if such an option is available. Please drop the info in the Comments, so it could save lives of some of my blog readers.
