Texas Merit Rating Plan Set to Expire August 1
The Texas State Board of Insurance ends the merit rating plan on August 1 after three years of controversy. About 78.3 percent of drivers enjoyed a 20 percent discount for two or more years without tickets or accidents, while opponents argued it unjustly punished the unpunished. Public safety experts note the plan encouraged caution as fatal crashes rose slightly this year.
