Safety measures could make online car insurance cheaper

People who are in the market for online car insurance may be able to save money in the coming months now that some states are taking steps to promote safety among teenage drivers.

Indiana is close to enacting a law that would enact various new auto safety standards, many of them for teen drivers. The legislation reportedly passed the House this week and it passed the Senate earlier this year.

According to the Evansville Courier and Press, provisions include a ban on anyone under 18 using a cell phone or texting while driving, an increase of six months in the minimum age for getting a drivers license or permit, and an 11 p.m. curfew for drivers under age 18. The bill is also said to mandate 50 hours of driving practice that would be verified by parents.

Elsewhere in the country, New Jersey lawmakers are currently considering a proposal that would require identifying decals on vehicles for drivers age 21 and under, based on the theory that they would be helpful to police while also promoting driver safety.

If these proposed laws do manage to cut down on accidents, online car insurance could become a better deal for many motorists, depending on how clean their driving records are.
