Insurance News - Tuesday, July 9, 2013

Most of the news has focused on the Toronto storm yesterday but here some of the leading auto insurance headlines from ONTARIO AUTO INSURANCE TOPICS ON TWITTER for Tuesday, July 9, 2013:

• A self-driving Mercedes arrives in Canada this fall but lawmakers would prefer that drivers keep their hands on the wheel.
• Weed-stinking driver nabbed over the weekend doing 225 km per hour in Mississauga. Most weekends there are quite a number of these charges laid.  In one weekend in April there were 45 stunt driving and speeding charges in Ontario. 
• That was quite the storm yesterday and put a strain on homeowners, commuters and city personnel.  The most unusual would have to be Doug Ford spotted directing traffic at the corner of Dixon and Islington.  How is that for constituency work? 

•  Finally there was a $300,000 Ferrari abandoned on Lower Simcoe in a flooded underpass.  You don't see a floating Ferrari every day.
