ive had 2 insured now so far.

my old company was pafco, they will no longer insure rhd cars. Now i deal with a broker in oshawa, and they seem to be a decent company.

There are a number of companies that will insure… however most require a canadian vin number to touch the car.

but you can’t see shit when you want to turn left at a big intersection  
and you can’t see shit when you want to pass someone on a one lane road  
but if you’re patient and not stupid (like trying to turn or pass when you can’t see shit) then rhd is perfectly safe and fine… gov’t is stupid

If your current insco tries to deny you, you should remind them that by law they must insure a new car you buy so long as it’s legal (at least that’s what my broker told me). I’m sure at this point they don’t even have to have a 17 digit VIN, since the MTO recognises 10 digit ones without a problem. That’s the struggle I’m going through right now, and I’m pretty sure they can’t make me get one.
