Careless Drivers Pay More
Texas motorists face higher auto insurance rates on policies issued after July 31 due to penalties for accidents and traffic law violations in the nine months ending May 1. Penalties totaling about six and a half million dollars could fund a rate reduction for many drivers, with varying impact by area and vehicle class. The State Board of Insurance reviewed a one percent general rate cut, while penalties against offenders may offset increases.
