Manitoba and Saskatchewan home to Canada's most nervous winter drivers
- TD Insurance Winter Driving Poll reveals how Manitoba and Saskatchewan residents handle winter driving conditions -
TORONTO, Nov. 25 /CNW/ - When it comes to winter driving, 63% of drivers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan say they are anxious, according to the TD Insurance Winter Driving Poll, making them the most tense drivers in the country (nationally, 52% of Canadians say they are anxious about winter driving). Despite their nervousness, 81% of Manitoba and Saskatchewan residents say they consider themselves to be good winter drivers.
"Being prepared for winter weather should be like putting on your seat belt - it's automatic the moment you get in the car," says Henry Blumenthal, Vice President and Chief Underwriter, TD Insurance. "A great way to improve your confidence driving in winter conditions is with a winter driving course. You'll feel better about your skills on the road and you can save a few dollars on your auto insurance premiums."
Take care
Residents in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most likely to drive slower in poor conditions (99% vs. 92% nationally), give themselves extra time to get to their destination (96% vs. 85% nationally) and check road conditions (90% vs. 81% nationally). Interestingly, this is the only area in Canada where more men say that they leave extra time to get to their destination (99% men vs. 92% women). Also, despite being the most nervous on winter roads, only 32% of residents in these provinces use snow tires (vs. 59% nationally).
Backseat drivers?
Overall, nearly a third (31%) of Manitoba and Saskatchewan residents prefer to be passengers (vs. 27% nationally) in winter driving conditions. Less than a third (29%) of women in the two provinces choose to drive when conditions deteriorate (vs. 45% nationally).
Don't drive so close to me
When asked about their top winter driving pet peeves, Manitoba and Saskatchewan residents say they are most annoyed by those who drive too close (37%). Other top annoyances are drivers who are too fast (23%) and drivers who don't brush the snow off of their cars (23%). Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the only two provinces to have more male drivers than women annoyed by drivers who are too fast (35% vs. 11%) and are the least likely provinces to mind if drivers go slowly (1% vs. 4% nationally).
...Who's the culprit?
He collision happened on Aug. 24, 2002: a rear-ender on Bathurst Street in the Toronto suburb of Richmond Hill. The nine people who were in the cars each filed an accident benefit claim. These probably would have been processed without a hitch, but for a coincidence that gave investigators pause.The police noticed that all five passengers in one of the vehicles went to the same chiropractor who treated the accident's other four claimants. All nine were given examinations, each costing $665, on the same day. Such examinations could easily have taken two hours per person. An 18-hour working day?
Then investigators noticed that several of the claimants had complained to a kinesiologist of suffering for weeks from insomnia as a result of the accident. But their appointments fell on Aug. 26--two days after the collision.
Investigators soon suspected a link to a similar accident several weeks earlier. This, too, was a rear-ender involving a rental vehicle. The earlier accident also involved nine passengers who filed injury claims. And a startlingly high percentage of the claimants from both accidents were unemployed, but about to begin new jobs--allowing them to claim income without actually doing any work.
