Last year, one large U. S. company that took in $191 million in auto insurance premiums for the year, lost $7.8 million on the business. The experience is a sample of the problems plaguing the insurance industry despite the fact that rates have lump- ed four hundred percent in the last twenty years. How come? A combination of increasing accidents, ris• ing repair costs and exhorbitant personal claims with en- suing court battles. Despite the rise in premium rates, many motorists have had their policies cancelled for higher than average claims or assigned to a higher priced "assigned risk" category. There is not much we can do about repair costs or court judgments except to try as much as possible to avoid them through more careful driving, Nine out of ten accidents are classed by authorities as "caused" by carelessness, incompetence or violation of laws. The insurance companies themselves point out that al- though drivers classified as "high risk" often have to pay double or more for their coverage, the companies lose most money on this business. Some policies contain clauses that cancel coverage in the event the motorist is proven guilty of drunk driving or other serious offences, thus leaving the motorist personally liable. In these days of bumper-to-bumper traffic when your foot slipping on the gas pedal can mean an automatic col- lision with another car, your only defense is ever-greater caution.
