Chicago Street Lights May Scan for Car Insurance

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Ticketing red light runners is standard practice in many big cities, but Chicago is considering doing one better and scanning every car going by for up to date insurance.

It wouldn’t matter if you ran the light or were driving conscientiously. The proposed system would exploit both existing stoplight cameras and general security cameras to scan your plate and hand it over to the InsureNet database. If InsureNet discovered that you were lacking insurance, you’d receive a $300-$500 ticket in the mail.

Texas Senate Committee Considers DWI Breath Test Bill

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Drunk driving suspects in Texas would no longer be allowed to refuse a breath or blood test under certain circumstances, under a bill being considered by the state Senate Criminal Justice Committee.

Texas already allows police officers to take a breath or blood sample if a DWI suspect causes a wreck that results in death or serious injury.

SB 261, by Greenville Sen. Bob Deuell, would expand that authority in cases where the accident involved injury that required the victim to be taken to a hospital or clinic for medical care. It would also permit blood and breath tests of DWI suspects driving with a child in the car, or suspects with a prior intoxication felony conviction or two prior DWI convictions.

Insurance Agents Say Auto Shift Spells Doom

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Tempers flared during a meeting last Wednesday at the State House about the next step in Massachusetts’ transition to a competitive auto insurance market.

The furor’s most frequent target: Insurance Commissioner Nonnie S. Burnes, who listened for two hours to more than 100 insurance agents express fear and anger that the changes will force them to close up shop.

“Look at the people in this room,” said Marie-Armel Theodat of Theodat Insurance Agency in Dorchester. “These are the people you’re putting out of business. And we’re here to tell you: It’s not fair.”

Theodat and the other agents in attendance operate as exclusive representative producers (ERPs). Since the 1970s, ERPs have been charged with writing car insurance policies for drivers placed into Massachusetts’ “high risk” pool — the customers that insurers wouldn’t voluntarily cover because they believed the drivers posed too high a risk. That non-voluntary market has been governed by the industry-operated Commonwealth Automobile Reinsurers (CAR).

Before You Cut Back Insurance, Consider Discounts, Adjustments

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Cash-strapped families might be tempted to let insurance policies lapse or, at the very least, reduce auto, home and life insurance coverage.

That may be possible in some cases, but making dramatic changes may not be necessary to save money. “Families should consider whether a short-term saving is worth the long-term risk,” says Roger Sevigny, president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
