BILL NUMBER:S1485
Title of bill
An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to requiring an appropriate reduction in premium charges for any insured that completes any driver education curriculum at any high school
Purpose
This bill will require an appropriate reduction in premium charges for any insured that completes any driver education curriculum at any high school.
Summary of provisions
Subsection (a) of section 2336 of the insurance law, as amended by Chapter 751 of the laws of 2005 and Chapter 585 of 2002 are amended to provide an appropriate reduction in premium charges for any insured that completes any driver education curriculum at any high school.
Justification
Held at high schools and approved by the New York State Education Department, driver education courses are comprehensive programs that include both classroom training and in-car driving instruction and practice.
These courses provide young drivers with more hours of classroom education than other pre-licensing courses and are invaluable tools in shaping safe drivers. The in depth nature of these courses should be recognized and the insurance discount that is provided to defensive driving courses should be extended to those drivers who successfully complete such the driver education curriculum.
