Letter: Pricey car owners should pay more

The Editor,

I totally agree with those who have suggested that owners of expensive cars should be paying much, much higher premiums and have very high deductibles.

Not only do these cars cost more, the repairs would also be substantially higher and the average person should not be subsidizing these drivers.

I think if these people had a higher level of self esteem, they wouldn’t need to drive a status symbol. (Years ago, when I worked at a women’s prison in a social service position, I noticed that people with low self esteem tried to impress others by having expensive items and were even willing to do unlawful things to obtain them.)

In addition, bad drivers need to be charged very high rates or even have their drivers licences taken away.
