Question 73

One that is owned and operated by the Government of Alberta

Vehicles owned and operated by the Government of Alberta are exempt from the requirement to purchase basic Autoplan insurance, as they are typically covered under different insurance provisions applicable to government entities.

A) One that is owned by a resident of British Columbia

This option is incorrect because vehicles owned by residents of British Columbia are subject to the Autoplan insurance requirement. Ownership alone does not grant any exemptions from purchasing basic insurance.

B) One that is owned and operated by the Government of Alberta

This option is correct as vehicles owned and operated by the Government of Alberta are exempt from the basic Autoplan insurance requirement, distinguishing them from private vehicles that must comply with provincial regulations.

C) One that is owned and operated by the Government of British Columbia

This option is incorrect because vehicles owned and operated by the Government of British Columbia do not have a blanket exemption from purchasing basic Autoplan insurance. They are still subject to the provincial insurance requirements.

D) One that is owned by a Government of Canada employee who resides in British Columbia

This option is also incorrect. While Government of Canada employees may have specific insurance considerations, their personal vehicles are still required to meet the basic Autoplan insurance requirements unless specifically exempted, which is not the case stated here.

Conclusion

The correct answer is definitively B, as it identifies a specific category of vehicles exempt from Autoplan insurance requirements. All other options fail because they either pertain to private ownership or do not meet the criteria for exemption set by the province. Thus, only vehicles owned by the Government of Alberta are recognized as exempt in this context.
