P -- ,VH TC GENERAL Costs of automobile in- surance vary with many factors in the kind of car being driven. Insurance for compact cars in usually less costly than for high powered sports cars, other things being equal. The more valuable the car and the more often it is used, the higher the cost is for insurance. Insurance on a car used for work is more expensive than that on a car used strictly for pleasure. Age is another factor for consideration. Policy premiums are determined according to the age of the operator on the effective date the policy. However, for the young driver, rates, are frequently lowered as he becomes older. The highest of rates are paid by unmarried males under 30 years of age, and the lowest rates are paid by females over 30 years of age. Driver record is another major factor in determining insurance rates. If a driver goes three years without an accident, sometimes his premium is reduced. Ac- cording to a booklet on a automobile insurance put out by Virginia Polytechnic Institute, a person who has an accident within this three-yea- r period will experience a 70 per cent increase in his insurance premiums, and a driver who has four accidents will see his premiums go up by 180 per cent.
