ICBC’s Approach to Pricing Changes Goals for 2014 Priorities for 2014 Key Initiatives • Implement pricing model acceptable to customers • Improved customer price value perception • Rates become more reflective of driver (vs. vehicle) risk to increase fairness of rates • Personal Pricing: • DRM (Driving Record Model) • Evolution of DRP (Driver Risk Premium) • Commercial Pricing: • Fleet • Personal Pricing: build and implement new pricing model • Commercial Pricing: implement foundational changes for improved pricing 13
Easy to understand Easy to administer Rate stability and predictability Respect our historical mandate - universality and accessibility Respect social and legislative/regulatory framework Customer feels model acknowledges their past Guiding Principles 14

Driving Record Model (DRM) • What it is: • New driver based insurance rating model to replace Claims Rated Scale (CRS) • Incorporates key elements that customers can control • Addresses both insurance premium on vehicle and driver’s licence 17
Table Exercise – CRS Replacement • Rating Variable Exercise
Driving Record Model (DRM) • What it is: • Incorporates key elements that customers can control: • 1. At-fault crashes 19
Driving Record Model (DRM) • What it is: • Incorporates key elements that customers can control: • 2. Driver Experience 20
Driving Record Model (DRM) • What it is: • Incorporates key elements that customers can control: • 3. Driving Convictions 21
Driving Record Model (DRM) • What it is: • Post 2014 • Evolutionary Approach – continue to evolve after implementation • Fine tune variables • Additional variables will be considered 22
Key to DRM Success - Consultation • Comprehensive consultation strategy • Customer, employee, & broker input critical • Learning from the past • Early consultation results – we are on the right track
Customer Focus Group (June) Key Findings Customers… • are used to CRS but have many misconceptions • view insurance as rewards and penalties not an assessment of future risk • have no common definition of a high and low risk driver • support the idea of shifting some of the insurance impact of unlisted operator crashes away from the vehicle owner toward the driver who had the crash • but the degree of the shift depends on whether the driver has a vehicle of their own
Customer Survey Approach (July) • Insights from the focus groups were used to develop a survey • Methodology • Online survey • Sample size = 808 • Representative of BC population
Customer beliefs about how ICBC determines premiums More customers believe ICBC sets rates to recover the cost of past claims than basing them on risk.
Convictions and Risk Customers believe there is a connection between convictions and the risk of having a crash.
Convictions and Premium 7 out of 10 customers believe convictions could impact their vehicle insurance today.
Customers were first shown a list of more than 30 traffic convictions that are in DRP/DPP. They were then asked about the fairness of considering additional traffic violations (also shown) for the purpose of a conviction-free discount. Conviction Free Discount – Convictions List • 75% of customers believe it’s fair that a driver must be free of all the traffic convictions listed in order to receive a conviction-free discount
Unlisted Operator Crashes • Customers were told to imagine a scenario in which Joe (a licensed driver with a vehicle of his own) has an at-fault crash in his wife Mary’s vehicle.. Most customers said it would be fair if Joe pays more for the insurance on his own vehicle and Mary’s insurance is unaffected.
Unlisted Operator Crashes Continued • Customers were told to imagine the same scenario but this time Joe did not have a vehicle of his own. In this scenario, most customers support a modest charge on Mary’s vehicle insurance.
Customer Survey – Other Key Findings Weighting of Crashes 8 out of 10 customers believe at-fault crashes should have different effect on their insurance—the older the crash, the less impact it should have on their insurance Rating Based on RO and PO 7 out of 10 customers think it would be fair for ICBC to consider the driving history of both the RO and PO in determining their insurance cost
Employee Focus Group Employee Panel: Total of eleven participants from both bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit staff Representing Claims, IT, Broker Enquiry Unit, Customer Contact, Training, Driver Licensing, Customer Relations and Collections Participants were asked to provide feedback from both an employee perspective and from the perspective of the customers they interact with
Employee Focus Group (June) – Case for Change • Employees largely receptive to the case for change and the general direction but cautioned that… • Change should not be too dramatic • Make DRM simpler than CRS to explain • Ensure tools developed to explain DRM available to customer-facing employees across the company – particularly Claims • Make link for customers between behaviour and premium • Need to look at rewarding good driving behaviour
Employee Focus Group (August) – DRM Components • All supported the movement towards driver-based • Current vehicle based system is very confusing • Cautioned about the impact on multiple vehicle owners and how they are transitioned • Employees’ views are similar to customers regarding treatment of unlisted operator crashes: • The driver should bear all responsibility for an at-fault crash if he has a vehicle of his own
Employee Focus Group (August) – DRM Components • Employees’ views are similar to customers regarding treatment of unlisted operator crashes (cont.): • If the driver doesn’t have his own vehicle, the RO should pay a modest one-time insurance surcharge on vehicle involved in crash, while the driver’s insurance will be impacted the next time he insures a vehicle. • Concerned about consistency re: impacts to RO in different scenarios- getting too complicated • Other panel comments: • Needs to be easily explainable, less complicated than CRS • Balance between consistency, accountability and perceived fairness • Transition gradually
DRMNext Steps • Broker/customer/employee consultation – 2010 2011 • Finalize high-level DRM model and pricing changes – 2011 • High-level internal DRM communication – ongoing • BCUC review and approval of DRM – 2011 – 2012 • Broker and employee training happening 2013/2014 • DRM Implementation – 2014
