It's a great way to save money if you never get into an accident but if you do it will not be worth the $1000 a year you saved. Not only that but if they cancel his insurance by finding out he may find it even harder and more expensive to get Alberta insurance (or any type of private insurance). If he somehow killed someone or injured them really badly his claim would be denied (ICBC isn't stupid they are very good at what they do) and he would personally have to pay that claim similar to how a drunk driver hitting someone. It's not a fun situation and you can't just go bankrupt over it to get out of it.
I'm sure tons of people do this every year because of the savings but it really isn't worth the risk IMO especially with the weather in Calgary.
