One would think that people would have the good sense to stay at home in a snowstorm instead of driving around on the 401 or on city streets. I would suggest that anyone caught in an accident during a big storm, like the one we just had, should be made to pay a premium to their insurance company just because the insurance shouldn’t be responsible for someones bad judgement.
