I wonder if there is a lag from to COVID slowdowns? Less driving sometimes meant less accidents? Not even sure what "catastrophic claims" are. Michigan isn't known for wild fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, or hurricanes, and they seem to be fine with blizzards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to do with lifetime financial payouts to people involved in vehicle accidents. This is unlimited. There is IIRC 50 billion in the fund, so money is being returned. The Governor signed something. Yada yada yada, $400 per vehicle. It's kind of a scam too, because you can't drive more than one vehicle at a time, but its required on all vehicles, not all drivers. Which would make more sense.

Randomguy Posted March 8, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 8, 2022 Not bad! Is there a regulatory agency safeguarding the public's interest, or a lawsuit behind this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Governor wanted to give back 5B, but 3B is being returned. Its more complicated than I care to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted March 8, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 8, 2022 The underlying issue is that Michigan has had some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country mostly due to them scalping us (per government formula) for EXCESSIVE uninsured motorists coverage. That fund has gotten so large they can’t ignore it anymore and are returning it to insured motorists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 9, 2022 Share #36 Posted March 9, 2022 At least it will pay for gasoline for a while. The number, $400 per car, seems strange. Wouldn't people with awful driving records and $70,000 cars get $1000 back while people who drive 3000 miles per year with perfect driving records and $10,000 cars get $100 because they're only paying 10% as much for insurance? Sounds like buying an election at the taxpayers' expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could look at it like that but really, every insured motorist is paying into a fund for uninsured motorists that just keeps getting bigger because the math has been wrong. So this is a bi-partisan attempt to return some of the unnecessarily held excess. Our legislature is republican controlled and the Governor is a democrat. Not much gets done but this did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like buying an election at the taxpayers' expense. I imagine its easier to take the total and divide by the number of policies. Get real. This method is fine, opposed to cluster fucking it up using a weighted method. And it is an election year. What do you think? The idiot wants back in, and I'm sure she'll win.
