“A dented fender on many new

the whole side of the car, said
one insurance executive.

Wages of auto mechanics are
up, they point out, and material
costs generally higher.

Loss Is Greater

Company figures show 42) per

cent increase in collision loss dur-
ing 1948. “In other words, rates
should go up at least 40 per eent,’
said a spokesman for board com-
panies,

Their records show only. 50 per
cent of motorists carry collision
insurance, :

Collision insurance is a separ-
ate clause in the all-embracing
“five-point” coverage carried by
many drivers. The. premium is
listed separately and the boost
applies only to this premium.

Collision insurance is not com-
pulsory under B.C.’s safety re-
sponsibility or “pink slip’ law.
The compulsory coverage includes
only public Hability and property
damage.

Cost of collision insurance is
related directly to what insurance
men term as “exposure.”
