It was announced Monday that Pennsylvanians and Texans would be the latest drivers to gain access to two increasingly popular discount car insurance programs that provide price breaks to motorists who put in fewer miles behind the wheel.
State Farm said it is rolling out its Drive Safe and Save program in Texas, while Progressive will be introducing its Snapshot program to the Pennsylvania auto insurance market.
Although similar, the Snapshot and Drive Safe and Save programs have important differences, and they are at different stages of availability.
Both programs use on-board devices to transmit mileage data to insurers and allow for savings of up to 30 percent for policyholders.

Insurance Research Org. Highlights Big Rig Safety Issue
February 28th, 2011
The latest report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) claims that lax federal regulations are allowing for grisly accidents between big rigs and smaller cars.
IIHS researchers analyzed sets of crash documents and conducted a series of tests in which smaller cars rear-ended tractor trailers, and they found deadly results.
In the tests, rear guards that big rigs are required to be equipped with in order to prevent smaller vehicles from sliding under them completely failed.
These types of accidents–called underride crashes–have the potential to decapitate the driver of the small car.
More than 400 fatal crashes in 2009 involved rear-end collisions with tractor trailers.
In order to prevent these types of accidents, underride guard requirements were established by the federal government in 1953.

States Look to Cut Recovery Rights of Drivers without Auto Insurance
February 21st, 2011
Bills have been introduced to the Oklahoma, Minnesota and Montana state legislatures with the intention of reducing the types–and consequently the amounts–of compensation that uninsured motorists can receive as a result of being involved in serious auto accidents.
All pieces of legislation have received favorable votes from their respective insurance committees, and the Montana Senate has already passed its bill, though narrowly.
As the law currently stands in these and the majority of other states, motorists who flout compulsory auto insurance laws and get into an accident while driving uninsured are able to sue the at-fault drivers for any type of applicable damages.
