Show Emery County Progress Wednesday, November One fourth of states autos are uninsured against figures representing the total number of insured vehicles in Utah provided by insurance companies doing business in the state. Commissioner Day said that the survey revealed that approximately one in four vehicles in Utah did not carry liability lt and insurance as required by state law. The Commissioner indicated that these results were necessarily approximate due to the fact that a small number of insurers were unable to provide the information requested by the Department due to their record No one keeping procedures. has ever been able to state with any kind of certainty how many people do not carry insurance. For the past several years we have heard estimates that anywhere from 10 to 35 percent of the driving population is uninsured and the results of our survey are in line with those estimates, Day said. Since the legislature passed and compulsory the insurance law in 1974, there has been increasing concern over what is perceived as an increase in the number of uninsured motorists in Utah, said Day. We wanted to determine the extent of the problem in order to incorporate solutions to it as a part of our insurance law revision process, he continued. Day indicated that there were no-fau- no-fau- lt .pUmber of, reasons,, why so many' Utahns fail to maintain the insurance required under law. Financial Utahs burdens imposed by downturns in the economy and high risk drivers who feel they cant afford the higher premiums they are charged contribute to the problem. We also believe that there is a perception that no-fa- nothing will happen to you if you fail to maintain your auto insurance, he said.
