Nearly Half of Pennsylvania Drivers Lack Liability Insurance
Harrisburg January 31 Nearly half of Pennsylvania's licensed motorists are without liability insurance on the eve of the Safety Responsibility Law. About 1,600,000 of 3,600,000 drivers lack coverage, as the act goes into effect tomorrow and requires reporting accidents to the Revenue Department within 24 hours. The law suspends licenses if proof of payment for claims is not posted within 60 days, while insured drivers with specified minimums are protected from suspension. Insurance officials expect a boom in auto coverage, potentially rising from 45 percent to as high as 90 percent next year. State Banking Department warns buyers to deal only with authorized insurers and agents.
