ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ North Carolina auto insurance rules changed on July 1 and drivers with less than three years of experience now face a surcharge that lowers over eight years plus minimum coverage limits have increased. New policies must include underinsured motorist coverage and a five-year lookback for violations may lead to higher rates at renewal. The News Herald
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ On July 1, state law allowed auto insurers to add a surcharge on drivers with less than three years of experience that now lasts until they reach their mid-20s—drivers face this extra cost even after their accident-free early years. The law also raised minimum liability limits, required underinsured motorist coverage, and extended the lookback period for moving violations, so many motorists will see increased premiums when they renew or start new policies.
