A proposal by a member of the Ontario parliament has gained some notice, and the support of a major trucking group.
The bill calls for insurance companies to cut premiums or offer rebates to drivers who use winter tires. The Ontario Trucking Association has thrown its support behind the idea.
"The OTA applauds this initiative because it will help keep Ontario’s highways and roads free from preventable accidents this winter, helping our drivers to make their scheduled arrival times," said OTA President David Bradley.
The bill is also backed by the Ontario Safety League, the Ontario Hospital Association and CAA.
