Automotive Insurance
Rates .Increase
An increase of less than 5% is
the net average change in rates on
automobile insurance which goes in-
to effect midnight, March 31st. This
applies on all renewals and new poli-
cies.
The experience of the insurance
companies has for a number of years
been unfortunate, and it has been
evident that. a . revision of rates
would have to be made. Claims have
increased' materially, and the cost
has risen accordingly.
The "no claims bonus" when intro-
duced was expected to encourage safe
driving, but accidents have actually
increased in number, and claims have
become excessive in comparison with
the premium income. This clause has
been abandoned under the new revis-
heads up amazingly well. Each ha
