The Insurance Corporation of B.C. says it’s taking a step back on two contentious measures.

Spokesman Doug McLelland says ICBC is shelving a plan to impose a $25 dollar premium when higher risk drivers, other than the principle operator, use a vehicle.

He says the company is moving ahead with its driver risk premium, which will see bad drivers pay dramatically higher rates.

But it will delay until next year a part of the program that would hit drivers who get three other vehicle related offences over a three year period.

McLelland says some drivers had clearly rejected the idea that ICBC had identified them as a higher risk driver.

He says a lack of understanding of how rates are set is part of the reason for the delay.
