Sizemore ~ Commissioner RE: Canadian Automobile Insurance Requirements DA: May 14, 1997 DOUGLAS M. SIZEMORE COMMISSIONER Attached is a copy of a letter dated April 23, 1997, outlining the procedures necessary to protect any of your insureds who drive their private passenger vehicle (s) in Canada. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you consider filing the "Power of Attorney and Undertaking" (PAU) form, copy enclosed, and provide those insureds who will be driving their vehicle(s) in Canada with the "Canadian Non-Resident Inter-Providence Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Card", as described in the letter. As you can see, the penalties for an insured not having the proper evidence of insurance coverage in Canada can be quite severe. Any questions may be addressed to the individuals listed in the letter, or to Coit C. Holbrook, Director of Property and Casualty Filings, at (615) 741-2333. DMS/CH/LSC
