Insurance Cinnpanies Ask For Ifigher Liability Insurance Bates RALEIGH — Higher liability insurance rates for private pas senger cars were requested to day in a filing submitted to the Commissioner of Insurance by the North Carolina AutoithoMle Rate Administrative Office. The filing was the first under a new law enacted by the 1965 North Carolina (Seneral Assembly re quiring that a rate review be filed on or before July 1 each year. The over-all statewide rate level Increases proposed average 8.1%. For the iminimum limits of coverage required by the finan cial responsibility law, the re quested rate increase for most drivers is $4.00 per year. For oth er drivers, requested rate in creases range-from $300 per year to $13.00 or more per year de pending upon classification and points under the Safe Driver In surance Plan. Quoting from official records of the North Carolina Depart ment of Motor Vehicles, the fil ing dtes these statistics: —The number of highway ac cidents in North (^rolina jump ed from 65,338 in 1962 'to 86,839 in 1965, an increase of 32.9%. ;—During the same period mo tor vehicle registrations in the State increased only 17.2%. W. F. Laughlin. general man ager of he Rate Adimdnistrative Office, said these figures discre-' dit any theory that accidents in North Carolina are increasing solely because the number of au tos is increasing. “The real significance of the figures,” Mr_ ’Laughlin said, “is that the source of insurance premium income (cars insured) has not increased nearly as rap idly as the source of insurance losses (auto accidents).” “The alarming rise in accident frequency is only one of the reasons why insurance compan ies need more premium income,” Mr. Laughlin said. “The other reason is that claim costs areigoinig up,” he said. The filing cites examples of increas ing prices affecting automobile liability insurance claims such as: ^ ' —Increase" in cost of medical care, up 7.1% in 1965 over 1962. —Increase in tlie cost of auto mobile parts. For a popular 1962 model car a trunk lid that cost $78.00 in 1962 now costs $86.70. —Increase in automobile re pair labor rates The filing lists eight repair shops in various North Carolina cities making charges ranging from $4.00 to $5.00 in 1962 and from $4.50 to $6.00 in 1966.. T^e proposed over all rate lev el increase was determined on the basis of combined experience under policies written through regular channels and policies written through the Assigned Risk Plan which are now rated the saime, ibut a memorandum at tached to the filing calls atten tion to the wide ’difference in experience for the two groups. Mr. Laughlin said that if separ ate rates for the two groups were.established on the basis of their experience, the rates for assigned insureds would be more than 65% higher than the rates for other insureds. “The adverse assigned risk ex perience \vhich greatly affects the over all private passenger automobile liability insurance rate level is not attributable a- lone to motorists with points charged for previous traffic ac- cidents or violations,” Mr. Laughlin said. “The assigned in sureds with no points produced a higher loss ratio than those with points,” he said. Quoting from a law under which the Commissioner of In surance is “authorized but not required” to establish higher rates for assigned risk policies, the memorandum suggests that the Commissioner divide the proposed 8.1% rate level increase by allocating a 16.7% increase to assigned insureds and a 6.3'/? increase to “voluntary” insureds. This would produce a differential of about 10% between the two. “The experience indicates^, tliat the differential should be imuch higher, and to whatever extent assigned insureds pay less lhan their proportionate share of the auto liability insurance premi ums other insureds must pay more,” Mr. Laughlin. said. “But if the assigned risk rate level were raised the full amount in dicated by the e.xperience the re sult for some insureds must be j rates so high as to encourage non-compliance with the Finan cial Responsi'oility Law.” Mr. Laughlin stated that the Moore Endorses Savings Bonds Governor Moore, Honorary State *Chirman gf th^ U. S. Sav ings Bonds Program, joined with President Johnson today in urg- ing'Citizens to “Put a small part of your prosperity into U. S. Sav ings Bonds.” ^ Governor Moore was quoting from the President’s special In dependence Day message,, pre paid for newspaper, radio and television release, which ' asks the American'people to “invest a few dollars each month in the front lines of battle for a strong er America and a safer world.” “Even while we celebrate In- dependnc Day,” the President's message said, “there is no real holiday from responsibility. We must go on with the work of building peace, enlarging our prosperity, guarding against in flation and recession. If only half of the 70 million employed American* bougdit just one $25 Savings Bond a month for only one year, they would meet most of the special cost of the strug« gle that we are making for peace in Viet Naim this year. Think about how much more meaning ful your holiday enjoyment would be if you could honestly say, T have pledged to do myf'* shareas an American I will buy U. S. Savings Bonds on a regular monthly basis’.” present average auto liability rate in North Carolina is among the lowest in the country. “If the proposed increase is -granted”, he said, “North Carolina’s aver age rate would still be nearly 25'/c below the country-wide average.’,’ Gilliam Finishes Mechanic Course FORf KNOX, KY.
