Study 5 Flashcards
What is the MAIN PURPOSE of insurance for automobiles?
To cover LOSS or DAMAGE to the INSURED VEHICLE, including COLLISIONS and other types of DAMAGE.
Why might a minor traffic inconvenience be a MAJOR PROBLEM for some?
Because their VEHICLE might need TOWING, REPAIRS, or be a TOTAL LOSS—aka, a really bad day.
What does this study cover regarding automobile insurance?
It explains COVERAGE for VEHICLE DAMAGE, what’s EXCLUDED, and EXTRA BENEFITS that might help.
TRUE or FALSE – Insurance only covers accidents that happen during rush hour.
FALSE! Insurance covers accidents ANYTIME, even if you crash at 2 AM getting a midnight snack.
Besides COLLISIONS, what else does automobile insurance cover?
OTHER TYPES of DAMAGE—think vandalism, theft, fire… or a deer playing chicken with your car.
What happens if a vehicle is DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR?
It’s considered a TOTAL LOSS, and insurance may PAY OUT based on the vehicle’s VALUE.
TRUE or FALSE – Insurance guarantees you’ll never be late for work.
FALSE! It covers your CAR, not your ALARM CLOCK.
What are the FOUR MAIN TYPES of loss or damage coverages?
SPECIFIED PERILS, COMPREHENSIVE, COLLISION OR UPSET, and ALL PERILS.
TRUE or FALSE – Physical damage coverage is always mandatory in Canada.
FALSE! In many places, it’s OPTIONAL, but if you LEASE or FINANCE a car, you’re probably stuck with it.
Where is loss or damage coverage MANDATORY?
SASKATCHEWAN and MANITOBA – no choice, government insurance makes the rules.
Where is loss or damage coverage OPTIONAL under government insurance?
BRITISH COLUMBIA – you can choose, but be prepared to pay out of pocket if you crash.
What does loss or damage coverage indemnify you for?
DIRECT and ACCIDENTAL LOSS or DAMAGE to your VEHICLE and its EQUIPMENT.
What counts as “EQUIPMENT” under loss or damage coverage?
Stuff PERMANENTLY ATTACHED to the vehicle—so no, your phone charger doesn’t count!
What is the OWNER’S POLICY SECTION for loss or damage coverage in ONTARIO?
SECTION 7 – sounds official, but it just means ‘here’s where we cover your car.’
What does SPECIFIED PERILS coverage protect against?
FIRE, THEFT, LIGHTNING, WINDSTORM, HAIL, EARTHQUAKE, RIOT, EXPLOSION, and even AIRPLANE PARTS FALLING FROM THE SKY!
What is NOT covered under SPECIFIED PERILS?
VANDALISM, MALICIOUS MISCHIEF, GLASS BREAKAGE, or IMPACT WITH AN ANIMAL – you need COMPREHENSIVE for those.
What does COMPREHENSIVE coverage include?
EVERYTHING EXCEPT COLLISION – think falling objects, vandalism, and yes, that deer that didn’t stop in time.
TRUE or FALSE – A rock cracking your windshield is covered under COLLISION coverage.
FALSE! It’s COMPREHENSIVE, because your windshield can’t exactly ‘crash’ into a pebble.
What does COLLISION OR UPSET coverage protect against?
DAMAGE from COLLISION with another vehicle, object, or flipping your car (aka, an ‘upset’ situation).
If you HIT A DEER, is it covered under COLLISION or COMPREHENSIVE?
COMPREHENSIVE – because deer don’t have insurance, and it’s cheaper for you this way!
In Nadia’s example, why is her claim under COMPREHENSIVE instead of COLLISION?
Because she hit a DEER, and insurers like to be nice about deer accidents (lower deductible, no penalty).
What’s the BROADEST coverage for loss or damage?
ALL PERILS – it’s the ‘everything bagel’ of car insurance!
What extra protection does ALL PERILS provide over comprehensive?
It covers THEFT by household members or employees who drive/service your car.
Why might someone choose ALL PERILS coverage instead of separate options?
One DEDUCTIBLE for everything and often CHEAPER than buying COLLISION + COMPREHENSIVE separately.
TRUE or FALSE – If your car gets stolen by your roommate, comprehensive insurance covers it.
FALSE! You’d need ALL PERILS for that—otherwise, get a new roommate.
If you drive into a tree, which coverage applies?
COLLISION – unless the tree hits YOU first, then we’ve got bigger problems.
What are EXCLUSIONS in an insurance policy?
RISKS, PERILS, or PROPERTIES that are NOT COVERED—aka, ‘you’re on your own for this one!’
TRUE or FALSE – In British Columbia, you can buy extension coverage from ICBC or private insurers.
TRUE! More options, but also more fine print to read.
Name one type of VEHICLE that is NOT COVERED under Autoplan if operated OFF A HIGHWAY.
VEHICLES LICENSED under SECTION 9 of the Motor Vehicle Act – basically, if it’s not meant for normal roads, don’t count on coverage.
What happens if you try to claim damage for a vehicle being driven by REMOTE CONTROL?
DENIED! Your insurance covers actual drivers, not your RC racing hobby.
TRUE or FALSE – A CAR being towed by an AIRCRAFT is covered under Autoplan.
FALSE! But if an AIRCRAFT is being towed on a HIGHWAY, weirdly, that IS covered.
Can you claim coverage if your car was in a RACE or HIGH-SPEED CONTEST?
NOPE! If you were pushing your car’s limits on a track, your insurance won’t push money into your bank account.
What happens if you drive an AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE into the water?
Hope you can swim! Your insurance won’t cover it once it’s floating.
If your vehicle has CRAWLER-TYPE WHEELS, is it covered?
Only IF it’s a LICENSED TRACTOR or a SNOWMOBILE—otherwise, no coverage for your tank-on-wheels.

FALSE! If you’re in a nuclear explosion, your insurance claim is probably the least of your worries.
Will insurance cover a loss caused by WAR, INSURRECTION, or REBELLION?

NO! It’s called a car insurance policy, not a maintenance plan.

NOPE! It’s considered CONVERSION, not theft—aka, ‘they took it, but not in a criminal way.’
If someone tricks you into signing over your car’s title, is that covered?
Nope! VOLUNTARY SURRENDER is on you, even if you were duped.
Are personal items like CLOTHES or ELECTRONICS in your car covered?
NO! Get a home or renters insurance policy for that stuff.
TRUE or FALSE – Music USB drives are covered under loss or damage coverage.
TRUE… but ONLY if they’re plugged in. If they’re in your glove box, tough luck!
What happens if you get into an accident while DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE?
NO COVERAGE! And you might also get a CRIMINAL RECORD—double bad news.
Will your insurance cover your car if a FAMILY MEMBER steals it?
NOPE! Theft by people in your household is NOT COVERED under comprehensive.
TRUE or FALSE – If you slash your own tires, it’s covered.
FALSE! But if someone ELSE vandalizes them, that’s a different story.

CRIMINAL CHARGE, just like being caught impaired. Not worth it!

A $1,000 FINE—plus a lifetime of expensive insurance premiums.
What is a DEDUCTIBLE in car insurance?
The amount YOU PAY on a claim BEFORE your insurance kicks in—kind of like an entrance fee for coverage.
TRUE or FALSE – A deductible is only paid if you are at fault for an accident.
FALSE! You pay the DEDUCTIBLE no matter WHO is at fault. Insurance doesn’t care about blame when it comes to this.
Why do insurers use DEDUCTIBLES?
To keep PREMIUM COSTS DOWN and avoid processing tiny claims that cost more to handle than to pay out!
TRUE or FALSE – In ONTARIO, losses from FIRE or LIGHTNING have NO DEDUCTIBLE.
TRUE! Your car could literally be struck by lightning, and at least you won’t pay a deductible.
What’s the STANDARD DEDUCTIBLE for COLLISION and COMPREHENSIVE coverage with ICBC?
$300—unless you change it (for a price, of course).
What happens if you INCREASE your deductible?
Your PREMIUMS go DOWN! Higher deductible = lower cost, but more out-of-pocket if you crash.
What happens if you LOWER your deductible?
Your PREMIUMS go UP! Because now the insurer has to pay more if something happens.
TRUE or FALSE – In BC, the DEDUCTIBLE for fire or lightning damage under private insurance is $0.
TRUE! Private insurers are feeling generous—but if you’re with ICBC, you’ll still pay a deductible.
If your windshield gets cracked by a flying rock, what’s your deductible under ICBC?
$200 if you have a $300 comprehensive deductible—otherwise, it MATCHES your comprehensive deductible.

BASIC VEHICLE DAMAGE COVERAGE in BC—covers up to $200,000 with NO DEDUCTIBLE for the part you’re NOT at fault for.

FALSE! It’s OPTIONAL—many drivers skip it to avoid paying a deductible when someone else hits them.

25%—only the part you ARE at fault for gets hit with a deductible.
TRUE or FALSE – The more at-fault you are, the more of your COLLISION DEDUCTIBLE you pay.
TRUE! Insurance companies believe in ‘you break it, you pay (at least some of it).’
In Li Ming’s example, what was her total deductible cost?
$350—$225 from DCPD and $125 from COLLISION.
How much did Li Ming’s insurer pay her in total after her accident?
$11,650—meaning she got most of her car’s $12,000 value back (minus the deductibles).
If your DCPD deductible is $300, but you’re only 75% not at fault, how much gets deducted?
$225—because you only get to ignore the part you weren’t responsible for.
TRUE or FALSE – A deductible is applied to every claim, no matter what.
FALSE! FIRE and LIGHTNING losses in some provinces have NO DEDUCTIBLE.

When your INSURER sues the person responsible for your loss—unless they waive this right.
TRUE or FALSE – If you lend your car to a friend and they crash, your insurer can sue them.
FALSE! Your insurer typically WAIVES subrogation against PERMITTED drivers.
When does the insurer NOT waive subrogation?
If the person was using the car for a GARAGE BUSINESS, VIOLATED POLICY TERMS, or LIED ABOUT THE DAMAGE.

A legal document for TRANSPORTED GOODS—if your car is in someone’s care under one, ICBC might limit how much it recovers.
If your leased car is damaged, who can ICBC settle the claim with?
The OWNER, the LESSEE, or both—because everyone wants their money back.

TRUE! If they have a financial stake, they can step in and file that claim.
Who gets paid FIRST if a car with a loan is written off?

What must an insured do if they have MULTIPLE INSURANCE policies covering the same damage?
