Continued on page 2 ..... LOWER PREMIUMS FOR DRIVER ED GRADUATES The Canadian Underwriters' Association has decided to give further reductions in insurance premiums to drivers under the age of 25 who have successfully completed an approved driver training course. In addition to the present 15 per cent discount to graduates from such courses as High School Driver Education, the young drivers will be jumped a Driving Record category in relation to Third Party Liability and Collision coverage. The beginning driver will be given credit for one year of accident free driving giving him or her an additional reduction of 13 per cent in premiums for a total of 28 per cent. Young drivers accident free for one and . two years will be jumped to the two and three year accident-free categories for an addi- tional saving of eight and 13 per cent respec- tively. The three year category is the lowest rated section. If the drivers get into an accident, they will be reverted to the highest-premium zero cate- gory but still receive their 15 per cent dis- count. The Association said it hopes these reduc- tions will stimulate young drivers, particularly the beginners, into taking advantage of appro= ved driver training programs. It would also ex= tend greater recognition to graduates of such courses. The new rates went into effect at the beginning of the month. The Association represents firms covering about a third of the automobile insurance mar=- ket.
