A new law went on the books in Oklahoma at the end of 2011 which makes uninsured drivers ineligible for many damages resulting from a car accident. Drivers who do not have a car insurance policy will no longer be able to receive damages for pain and suffering related to a vehicle accident, even if they did not cause the accident. Uninsured drivers will still be able to be compensated for damage to property and loss of income but cannot sue for other losses.

Further drivers who do not carry the state minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury for one person and $50,000 for bodily injury per accident are subject to having their driver’s license suspended, being assessed a fine and possibly time in jail.

Almost 25% of drivers in Oklahoma drive without the required minimum liability coverage so this will have an immediate effect on some of these drivers. V

Ageas has launched a new pricing structure for car insurance, based on publicly available data from a variety of sources.

In partnership with Insurance Initiatives, Callcredit Information Group and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the insurers new rating system takes the name, date of birth and address of the applicant and immediately returns a risk score that is used to enhance underwriting data.

The insurers underwriting director, Adam Clarke, comments: “Ageas’s dynamic pricing puts us at the forefront of new rating sophistication techniques, giving brokers extra confidence that the quote they are providing is more specifically targeted to their client’s individual circumstances and allowing brokers a unique opportunity to compete in a highly competitive market.”

A few months of accident surcharges should balance the books in no time.

China’s roads are widely believed to be the most dangerous in the world.  No one knows for sure, because many observers believe the reported fatality rate is only a fraction of actual deaths.  Even using China’s official numbers, twice as many people died on its roads in 2009 as on roads in the United States — which has far more cars racking up many more miles.

And mere nonfatal accidents? Few e
