In Reply to: When your auto insurer raises rates, blame GM. posted by peppy m. on January 17, 2025 at 06:01:06:
The IIHS pushed for built in safety systems like lane alert and emergency braking, pushed the Federal government into mandatory traction and stability control.
Result 1 is that the cost of repair in a minor accident has skyrocketed.
Result 2 is that more people are driving without insurance.
BTW, GM isn't the only company that sells data to insurance companies.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
