If this treaty enters into force, the National Highway System designation of the federal law would remove control of speed limits, first imposed fuel as a means of winning in 1974.

Without federal budget, Montana is automatically America’s “highway” status. How many drivers in Germany by major highways, drivers in Montana interstates on the face of every day is not time to speed limits, because she screamed by Big Sky Country.

A generation of state legislators in the West has reacted violently to the introduction of the maximum speed of the National Institute of the nation maximum speed to 55 mph. States that do not comply ran the risk of losing highway money. During 1987, we read had the chance to raise the ceiling to 65 km / h on interstates in rural areas.

The dream to follow a regime of the race over vast green spaces, the state legislature, in the west accepted speed limits, which take effect only if the Confederation borders have been lifted. In Montana, lawmakers voted to restore a pre-1974 set by law, that motorists should drive at a rate reasonable and prudent. ”

Mr. Clinton has objected to the provision of speed limit and other parts of the highway bill, but it is feared, to sign it.

By its signature, maximum speed limits of 75 mph directly to Kansas, Nevada and Wyoming, and 70 km / h in California, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. Colorado’s legislative debate, a proposal to increase to a maximum of 75 km / h

In the East overloaded has not adopted any measures have been taken. In some countries in Eastern Europe, like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, speed limits can not be amended in the State Legislature. Others, like Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont, require action committees of public transport.

In the Rocky Mountain west, some have long argued that geography and population density of light provide a great fast lane.

“We have fewer people in this state that throughout the city of Honolulu, and three times as many cows as human beings,” said Andrew Malcolm, a spokesman Dir of Montana, Marc Racicot And provides a justification for opening up speed limits. “Public opinion is strongly in favour of old borders,” he added, referring to the state constitution-1974 before the law.

Security and insurance companies are to recommend to Mr. Clinton to veto the highway bill, which would be $ 6.5 billion in aid for states and the costs of a number of other Federal Regulations, as a motorcycle helmet, a ban on Billboard highways and staged a number of rules in connection with the truck.

Presses M. Clinton, a security group, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, recalled that his father died in a car accident. “We can not repeal the law of physics,” said Katherine Hutt, a spokesman for the Washington advocacy group. “Physics in effect doubling every 10 miles an hour on the current speed limit. ”

Realizing that 4694 people died on Interstate outages during the past year, the group said: “The Congress has examined the account of a highway for the first time in history, more ‘ To kill Americans, as it saves. ”

Monday, the consumer advocate Ralph Nader implored President, to view, please, what is at stake - between 6000 and 7000 more deaths each year, tens of thousands wounded, disable, $ 19 billion in the field of public health and costs because a higher insurance rates higher worker compensation premiums, more air pollution, more imported oil and more risks on the highway putting out of the police. ”

Within five years after Congress raised rural speed limits to 65 km / h, deaths rose 30 percent on routes where speed limits have been collected, according to a study by the Federal Department of Transportation, said Speed contributes to one third of all highway deaths.

East favorable to the security’m wondering how the pilot of Flight Montana prices next month when they arrive on a stray cow or a patch of ice while traveling 100 km / h, the deadliest of the Interstate east in Montana, on I-90 in Silver Bow County, Computer-Aided a case study of death intergovernmental this month Hearst newspaper. From 1990 to 1994, measured in the study, the number of fatal breakdowns per 100 million kilometres travelled.

Los Angeles County had the highest number of fatal blockages, 395 in the country over the past five years. But Los Angeles-.391 rate of fatal breakdowns per 100 million kilometres, was well below the 6.2 per 100 million miles on I-90 in Silver Bow County.

Between rural Utah, New Mexico and Texas are not far behind. Alaska was the biggest drop deadly in the country. The national quota fell to 1.8 in 1993 to 2.8 in 1982.

In a survey conducted in the past defenders for April Highway Safety and automobiles, 64 percent of respondents strongly against increasing the maximum allowable speed of 65 km / h between Western Although the legislature has been a force National for the abolition of speed limits, survey respondents in the West and Middle West against increasing the maximum permitted speed

The National Association of Independent Insurers (NAII) insists that the Utah Department of Insurance of their projects for the revision of the regulation in the field of insurance credit scoring for the use of this instrument, if risk to factors other than credit information in D’considered.

NAII opinion on the service and testified recently that the proposed rule goes beyond, the status last year. The new Utah law stipulates that allows credit insurers in underwriting initial training and then give a discount to private automobile transportation, politics, if combined with other factors. However, the proposed regulation stipulates that insurers are not allowed, credit information as the main reason for decline or refuse a new private car insurance.

“Our main concern regarding the proposed regulation is that it is not so much the clear intent of the legislature regarding the use of credit information,” said Ann Weber, adviser to NAII . “With the term” primary “creates a multitude of problems, it is difficult to define, and it indicates that it is a balancing of factors. In addition, the legislature began to limit and decided against the use of this concept. ”

As in previous draft rule NAII expressed its concern about the communication to consumers. NAII asked the Division to remove a section addressing an insurer, if the credit commitments used. The commitments beyond, “said Fair Credit Reporting Act and the requirements of the new law.

NAII also requested that the date of enforcement of the rule be modified, one year after the issuance of the rule for insurers sufficient time to properly set up internal systems to comply with the new rule.

In addition to this rule is the department, a proposal for a ban has been Scoring assurance of the session. “The industry has pointed out that the rules being developed for the law adopted last year, there was no need for legislation of this meeting,” said Weber. The bill (HP 216) do not receive support within the committee and was presented. Utah is scheduled appropriate legislative session, March 5, 2003.

For the victims of car accidents, injury recovery is often easier than the insurance company. Indeed, an accident of the debt must be determined before any rights are in most countries, motorists are often costly litigation battles and years of delay, before taking any compensation for their efforts. A quarter of all victims never pick up a dimethanonaphthalerne. Last week, Congress passed a first step towards the defence to remedy this situation. After heated debate, the Senate (53-42) and the National Assembly a no-fault auto insurance.

Since Massachusetts, a pioneer of the debt is not compulsory insurance at the year 1971, the idea won the support of consumer associations, trade unions and a growing number of insurance companies. Sub-no-fault, an injured driver is reimbursed for medical expenses and lost wages its own insurance company regardless of the accident. In return, the motorist gives its right to bring a driver for negligence or other compensation factors such as the huge “pain and suffering” - unless his injuries are much larger than usual. The delay of the auto pollution cases, the courts display is cut back and I hope that men are insurance premiums.

Some 20 countries have some form of judicial no-fault. But most have been shy to leave enough versions that access to the courtroom. It is an ineffective solution, insurers generally agree that the right of appeal must be significantly limited if a plan is not for want of work. Others, even though insurers have tried to work hard to establish a system for peaceful coexistence of disturbances and no-fault systems in the neighbouring country, some legal complexities. For example, if the driver at fault states of Texas and Mississippi running in all other in New York, they can collect it is not for lack of rule of law. If they fall in New Jersey, they are not covered by that state is not for lack of plan, but must be brought to justice.

Last week, the Senate, co-sponsored by Democrat Frank Moss of Warren Magnuson Utah and Washington, requires member states on the no-fault-standards, within four years, or adopt a federal plan even more severe. To meet the minimum requirements, insurance companies must pay all medical expenses and rehabilitation of their clients injured victims compensation for lost wages up to a maximum amount ranging from $ 17000 to $ 35000 per year (based on revenues of State) and pay funeral expenses, drivers killed in a crash. Companies must also bill for services replacement, “as for payments to a cook or baby-sitter, must be rented, while a housewife recuperates injured. Even more important is that payments must be made in 30 days, and companies are reluctant to face serious sanctions.

Stiff opposition. According to supporters of the bill Magnuson Moss, has no national debt of insurance is to distribute a lot of insurance payments more equitable. Under the existing system, insurers tend to fight against the strong demand strong, so that the most seriously injured and families have lost life, a fifty-fifty chance of collecting. Smaller applicants, with the threat of justice is expensive, typically earn Out-of-court is often the real costs of their injuries.

For the second consecutive year, MetLife & Home car prices in Utah default for cars and owner of products in all areas. With the further reduction of 2.8 per cent in standard auto insurance premiums, the company’s car prices by 6.8 percent on average since 1998.

Home Insurance rates by 2.1 per cent this year were on average 3.3 per cent since 1998.

Despite the conviction of insurance fraud, Abolfazl Fahim-Gilani goes daily to work in the Utah Department of Insurance.

A computer program analysts, Fahim-Gilani, two weeks ago, pleaded for an assessment No offence of fraud of such false assurances of law and a third category includes crimes attempts to amend the criminal stupidity State allegedly computers to the revocation of the licence for insurance of a related business adjustor, refused to be connected in his car because the damage caused by the fraudulent claim.

“For me it is absolutely outrageous that this man is still working for the state, but I guess with the state-you never really know, we do so.

In its rightful conclusion of the legislative session Utah laws on consumer protection against unauthorized access to their credit information related to the insurer while maintaining access to credit, Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) Regional Manager Kenton Sole said.

Utah legislature - and, more importantly, Senator Carlene Walker - have shown a great moment of approval of management measures for strong protection for consumers of illicit access to their personal data, without paying unnecessarily in relations between consumers and companies, which serve, “said the salt solution.

Senate Bill 69, when the law will be signed will require that consumers be notified when their personal information in possession of data from companies, financial institutions, retailers or other presentations, unauthorized access, stolen or lost. But the first versions of the bill has not prevented the filing of complaints frivolen collective in the context of the alleged breach or statement. PCI has worked with legislators to prohibit changes to create a private right on the activities under the bill, the Association said.

With SB 71, PCI also wanted to ensure access to information for consumers credits for insurance companies, if a credit freeze is in effect a consumer in the file. “At the age of 24 hours of access for consumers of insurance products - online, by phone and with insurance agents - credit freeze would add unnecessary frustration and confusion among consumers, the Instant insurance quotes, Sole said.

“Insurance Companies that access credit reports does not use information relating to the granting of credit or for data transfer non-related companies,” he added. “And criminals steal credit information does not use the data to improve the rate of their insurance. It makes sense for PCI, with legislators to ensure that consumers can protect their personal data without the handicap their ability to obtain the best rates at home or in self-insurance “.

HB 72 bills will help workers who lose benefits of health insurance in competition with operators of the Utah State Workers Compensation Fund for the right to a public indemnity coverage, starting on 1 July 2007, PCI said.

“PCI members hope that this bill is only the first step in efforts to ensure a fair, open market compensation for workers reporting under the Utah Supreme Court ruling last summer that State is a fund of the mutual insurance company is not in possession of Utah State, “said the salt of the solution.

Dir Jon Huntsman, Jr. has until March 21 to act, invoices, by the legislation. Unless stated otherwise, the legislation will take effect on 1 May. But SB 69 is effective Jan 1, 2007 and SB 71 effective September 1, 2008. House Bill 72 takes effect from 1st July 2007.

Still, pressure from consumer groups that led many states to limit, as self-insurers people use credit history.

Many laws of the state on the model law on the use of credit insurance people in the information written by the National Conference of Insurance members of the legislative body, an organization whose main concern is the insurance legislation and regulation. It creates the model law on the prevention of insurance credit scoring as the sole basis for the refusal, revocation or not to extend or policy of raising tax rates.

Starting from June 2006, 48 states had some form of laws or regulations share, a Prohibitions or Restrictions on the use of credit scores, said the FTC. For example, Georgia, Illinois and prohibit Utah, with information on credit history as the sole basis for insurance rating or decisions. Oregon prohibits the use of banks of information on the history terminate or not renew existing customers, policies or increase their prices, Maryland and prohibits the use history of credit, subscription or ‘assessment of customers.

Of course, he agrees that consumers practices of good financial habits, such as paying their bills on time and limiting their use of credit. But someone has to pay more auto insurance, because he or she has lost a job and could not pay his credit card?

“Insurance premiums should focus on the risk of an accident, not record consumers pay for other goods and services,” said Norma Garcia, a lawyer with leaders of Consumers Union.

After reviewing all research and industry input, and after consultation with 200 public comments, the FTC has not yet determined why there is correlation between low credit scores and a greater probability that someone One is a roster of auto insurance.

If you do not know why, as you know, the practice is fair and impartial?

Harbour FTC said Commissioner of the Agency omitted a “debate on the balance of advantages and disadvantages of using credit scores and credit insurance-Based opinion.

The wear of alcohol, take a driver training class B and an average. It could make you a better man and save money on your automobile insurance.

Many people do not realize that insurance companies offer dozens of special discounts, interfaces up to 35 per cent of their tax rates, industry experts.

“Thus, although all consumers can do something to reduce their automobile insurance costs, irrespective of their tour d ‘,” said Amy Gergley, consumers, communications director at Independent Insurance Agents of America, one non-profit trade group in Washington, DC

For example, a reduction in your rate if you have a good tour d ‘, airbags and other safety devices, alarm or a car. Some companies offer a break for young drivers, a B-above average. Others are subtracted costs for people give their word, they are not drinking alcohol.

“Sometimes, we must ask about discounts, if not ask you,” said Gergley.

Where should we start to cut your car insurance costs? The easiest time to think before you buy a car, some experts said. Some cars are much cheaper to achieve, depending on the brand.

Perhaps like the fashion, a “low profile” car, which will begin someone’s attention, “said Jayna Naegle, a spokesman for the insurance industry Information Institute, New York-based industry group.

In other words, you have the remarkable sports car, times more expensive to repair - and avoid cars most frequently stolen, as some models of Honda Accords and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes, said Naegle.

It is also crucial to the shop for the best price, because the policy can vary from several hundred dollars for the same coverage, said Tom Blum, head of Consumer Reports’ auto-insurance prices.

“It is not uncommon for differences in rates of hundreds of dollars,” said Blum. “The trend is that the cost of automobile insurance. But that does not mean that your bill.”

Doing your homework is particularly important for human beings, especially for higher prices, for example, families with adolescents, persons with a history of tickets or accidents, to live the city and tilting long distance, Blum said.

“I saw a driver of change in New Jersey at $ 7000,” said Blum. If the high price quote seems unworthy, it is likely to compete with the institution not want for your company.

Prices vary greatly from state to state. While you move is not necessarily money automobile insurance costs, they could influence your choice if you move into a new area, said Gergley. For example, if you have a new job in Washington, DC automobile insurance rates would be otherwise if you live in Washington, Baltimore or Virginia.
