Times, June 9, 1959 Just how much our safe drivers have been subsidizing the highway lunatics is shown by announcement of the Travelers Insurance Company. It will experiment with new rates expected to give drivers with clean records an automobile insurance premimum dis count of about 30 percent. Half of the drivers in the nation can qualify for this reward. At the same time those who are accident-prone or who go about col lecting strings of traffic violations will pay heavily for their acts. They will have to meet the bill for their negligences. Their rates will go up. It is complimentary to the Travel ers and to Hartford that this com pany which wrote the first automo bile Insurance should now be the first to modernize it. The need is extreme. Losses have mounted to unbearable sums compared to the profits expect ed of the business. Besides, the great number of good responsible citizens are being penalized for the irrespon sibility of motoring dimwits. The trial of a new rate scheduled based on 13 classifications will be opened In Nebraska. That state has excellent motor vehicle court records for the past five years. If the plan works there acceptably it will be spread to other states. Travelers expects that as the new rate scheme is applied In Nebraska some inequities may be discovered and some alterations may have to be made. That is why it is being tested where numbers of policy holders are not large and where good record-keeping is in effect. Connecticut records are not so readily available or com plete, and the larger number of dri vers complicates a program which is so far experimental. This rules out our states as a test area. Insurance companies have been try ing for years to develop a merit plan on rate changes, and in the past at least five attempts have been made to implement one. Each attempt failed, basically be cause it could not be determined how to reward the safe driver or how to classify him. Sponsors of earlier merit plans were inclined to make liberal provision for human misfortune . or carelessness. 'Orginally it was the thinking that if an applicant had an accident in his background, but could be held blameless, he should enjoy a low rate of premium payment. But there was endless involvement, and the cost of attempts to get such proof of blamelessness ate up the intended rate reductions. The present formula opens on a tougher note. To get the highest dis count, a driver must show he has not been involved at all In an accident or moving traffic violation for a least five years. The scale of rates climbs quickly as the applicant loses place with any less sound motoring history. There Is only one exception, and it protects the innocent victim of in volvement in a mishap. If, for exam ple, someone jumps the center line of a parkway and bashes your car or crashes in from behind, there is lee way for the victim. If the driver of the offending car is convicted of a mov ing traffic violation, then his victim will suffer no uppage of his automo bile insurance rate. If there is no con viction, the blameless party still suf fers liability for a higher rate. Regardless of the success or failure of the Nebraska trial of the new rate plan, it is apparent that leading com panies consider that automobile in surance as we know it, besides being unprofitable is unfair in rate struct ure. It is time that the reckless ele ment put its own costs on the line. If this is required generally, it will prove to be one of the most import ant safety promotion measures ever adopted. j FOR FURTHER INFORMATION "See STEVE DAVIS" Phone 6111 Plattsmouth, Nebr.
