State Farm to offer bigger discounts for safer cars
State Farm announced a new pricing system cutting medical coverage costs by up to 40 percent for vehicles with fewest injury claims. The policy favors larger, safer models like some Acuras and BMWs, while smaller cars may receive 20 to 40 percent discounts based on air bag protection and crash data. The change, effective Jan 1, aims to reflect safety data but drew criticism from consumer safety experts.
