I am almost sure most of you knows what I am talking about.

Just in case, would like to remind you.

ICBC has "produced" and still spreading bogus "report" where claimed that RHD vehicles 40% more likely to be involved into accidents compare to LHD which is complete BS. Based on that BS RHD banned in QC and PEI...Who will be next?

Please write short message to them https://onlinebusiness.icbc.com/eforms/dotcom/jsp/feedback_gen.jsp with request to remove their "study" and publicly admit they were wrong.

Here is the "study" http://www.icbc.com/road-safety/safety-research/righthand-drive.pdf to be removed.

The UBC real study that supports the removal:

Spread the word!

some people/companies should be shut down/shipped to other less privileged countries. A consumer report company here in the states killed the samurai by making bogus claims that it was overly prone to roll overs, they later were sued because of what they did and had to pay an ass load of money back to Suzuki. They had to attach weights to the inside roof of the truck to make it roll for the video, you think they would learn but later they did the same thing to the Montero by fixing a huge top heavy rig to it like giant training wheels. I never understood why they do crap like that it always does more harm than good.

Same here. Also I do not understand why MOST RHD owners so passive? People do not understand it is a reality. We can wake up one nasty morning and figure out our RHD BANNED!!!
