Texas drops safe driver plan amid legislative pressure
The Austin safe driver insurance plan is scrapped after state lawmakers demand major changes. Most Texans will save about 10 million dollars on car insurance next year, though two thirds of owners who earned 20 percent discounts for clean records will pay full rates. About a third with poor driving histories will save, while others face unchanged costs. Insurance rates vary by county car type and driver age, complicating predicted effects. Local agents will provide specifics soon.
