Edmonton roads are bad but everytime im in Calgary im glad I live here . Its brutal driving there . Word of note on new cars with abs press the brake pedal as if your trying to break it off , don't stomp on it just press it fricken hard . Theres a lot of stopping power people never use because the abs ecu never sees max demand .

If it comes to that, a number of charities will tow your car for free and give you a tax receipt of a few hundred dollars but I would call around to a few scrap yards first to see what they would give you for the car and then decide what is most cost effective. The insurance company can't force you to keep your car at the lot since they are not paying you for it so it won't become their property nor will they be paying the fees. I would email the insurance company, so you have written confirmation, that you intend to move the vehicle immediately due to ongoing costs and they can contact you for the vehicles final whereabouts.

Exactly my thought. I don't know the adjuster's email so I left the voicemail that I want to take care of it. I have planned to go tomorrow to the lot to settle it and give the vehicle to any scrap company; there's no point waiting for the adjuster to look at my vehicle since they are not going to do anything about it anyways. I will not cancel the registration until I get to talk with the adjuster about it but at least getting the car away from the lot is fair for my pocket.I hope I won't "violate" any rule.

Haha. Yah people in edmoton drive very carefully. I even saw people overtaking car while still under speed limit. And yah, abs always interferes with the braking mechanism while you stomp on the brake. It was my first experience and my foot worked spontaneously before I could even take a decision. The experience was quite daunting for me.
