No-Fault Plan Cuts Costs of Insurance in Massachusetts
Massachusetts remains the first state with no fault auto insurance as rates fall in 1973 by about 15 million dollars from 1972. Commissioner John G Ryan notes leveling of rates, with a Boston driver paying 6130 for compulsory coverage in 1973 (down from 117 in 1970) and a under 25 male rate dropping to 195. The plan cuts rates on property damage and medical payments while increasing some bodily injury and collision coverages. A separate note lists St Johns Lane Rome as the world’s narrowest street at 19 inches wide.
