Safe Driver Plan
Procedure for offering reduced auto insurance rates to drivers with good records, and imposing higher rates on bad drivers. Typically, premiums are weighted under a system that assigns points for traffic violations and accidents. The more points awarded during a certain rating period, the higher the premium. Most plans consider violations only during the past two or three years, giving bad drivers who improve their records a chance to reduce their premiums.
