| . read this, there will be three motor vehicle .
accidents i NBC.
Last year claims added up to more than $762
- million. And by the end of 1987 the costs will be
even higher.
. Who pays the price? The accident victims,
for sure. But sooner or later we all do.

_ What's ICBC doing about it?

Our financial mandate as an insurance
company is to break even. So premiums must
cover the anticipated cost of claims for the

coming year.

Were trying to reduce the number Of .
accidents through traffic safety education. By
working with police, governments, educators,
public health and community groups.

- Atthesame time, we're working to reduce
tbe cost of claims through programs to increase
safety belt usage, reduce fraudulent claims and to
moderate increases in the cost of vehicle repairs.

What can you do about it?

If you know the simple rules of accident-free
driving — and apply them every day, every kilometre
— congratulations. You're part of the solution. _
But ifnot, youre part of the problem. A $3 million-
dollar-a-day problem that’s hurting everyone in
