지난 6월28일자 위니펙프리프레스에 실린 기사를 요약했습니다.

기사의 내용은 대략 다음과 같습니다.

MPI(Manitoba Public Insurance)는 도둑들이 많이 훔치는 차량모델의

소유자에게 무료로 자동차 시동잠금장치(Auto Immobilizer)를 2년전부터

제공하고 있고, 올해 9월부터는 아래 도둑들이 잘 훔치는 차량의 목록에

있는 차량을 소유한 운전자가 보험을 가입시 자동차 시동잠금장치

(Auto Immobilizer)를 장착하지 않으면 보험가입을 받아주지 않는 것으로

요약될 수 있습니다.

즉, 자동차 시동잠금장치(Auto Immobilizer)는 이제 매니토바주에서는

모든 차량에게 필수라는 얘기입니다.

지난 2년동안 66,000대의 자동차 운전자가 자발적으로 자동차 시동잠금장치

(Auto Immobilizer)를 달았는데, 아직도 47,000대의 차량이 자동차 시동

잠금장치(Auto Immobilizer)를 장착하지않고 있다고 합니다.

[참고] Immobilizer(이모빌라이저)
이모빌라이저 시스템은 무선통신 방식으로 키의 기계적인 일치뿐만 아니라

무선으로 통신되는 암호코드가 키와 차량이 일치하는 경우에만 시동이

걸리도록 한 도난 방지 장치.

MPI(Manitoba Public Insurance)에서는 아래 자동차 목록에 있는 차량의

운전자에게 보험갱신이 있기 6주전에 안내문을 보내고 있답니다.

예를 들어, 11월에 보험갱신을 해야 하는 운전자는 10월 2째주에 안내문을

받고 MPI(Manitoba Public Insurance)에 가서 자동차 시동잠금장치를

장착해야 한다고 합니다.

MPI에 따르면 도둑들이 많이 훔치는 차량의 자동차 시동잠금장치 설치는

무료, 그 외의 차량은 MPI(Manitoba Public Insurance)에서 일부를

보조해주고 있다고 합니다.

혹시 여러분의 차도 위 목록에 있나요? 확인해 보시고 불이익을 받지

않도록 조심하세요. 요즘 새로 출시돼는 차량은 대부분 장착되어

있다고 하네요. ^^

위니펙 프리 프레스에 실린 질문과 답변들입니다. 참고하세요. Immobilizer Primer What cars are on the high-risk list? It's a huge list that includes everything from a 1982 Cutlass Ciera to the Chevy Avalanche. Few cars on the list were built in this millennium, and most are American made. For the full list, go to the Free Press's website at www.winnipegfreepress.com or visit the Manitoba Public Insurance website at www.mpi.mb.ca to use an interactive feature that tells you if your car is high risk. Darn, I have a 1999 Dodge Stratus and it's on the list. What do I do? Sit tight until your Autopac renewal date draws closer. Three months before, you'll get your first reminder letter with a blaring headline telling you an immobilizer is mandatory. You'll get two more letters before the drop-dead date. The letters will tell you where to call to make an appointment to get the gadget installed, which takes a couple of hours. You could try to get an immobilizer ahead of time, but MPI is discouraging that, to make sure installers have lots of room to accommodate the people who need one in time for their Autopac renewal. Is there any wiggle room? A little. You can get another 90 days after your renewal date to install your immobilizer, but only if you have a really good reason. With 47,000 cars that need immobilizers in the next year, are there enough mechanics to get them all done? MPI says yes. The city's certified installers can take 4,000 appointments a month, slightly more than the number needed to accommodate the 47,000 cars. Few people are voluntarily getting immobilizers now, which is part of the problem. How much does an immobilizer cost? If your car is on the high-risk list, the immobilizer is free, courtesy of MPI. What if I just don't get one? What's the punishment? Simple. If you have no immobilizer, MPI will not insure your vehicle. Do I get any cash back? Yes, about $80 -- a $40 bonus when you install the immobilizer and another $40 discount when you renew your insurance. Does the new mandatory program apply outside Winnipeg? No, since Winnipeg is the real hot spot for car thefts. Immobilizers are mandatory for Winnipeggers or people who commute into the city. By the way, what the heck is an immobilizer anyway? It's a special key or a small transponder device on a key chain that has a secret chip in it recognized by the car. The car won't start, even if it's hot-wired, unless the right key is used.

자동차 시동잠금장치를 달면 $80정도를 돌려준다고 하네요. 장착할 때 $40불지급, 보험갱신할 때 $40을 깍아준다고 하네요. 도둑으로부터 자동차보호하고 보험료 낮아지고... 하하
