Reader’s Question:

What average grade point does a seventeen year old boy in Madisonville, Kentucky have to have for car insurance discounts?

JImmy

Madisonville, KY

I am not aware of certain grade point average that a person must carry in order to be able to have car insurance in Madisonville Kentucky. The state of Kentucky does have a form of the No Pass, No Drive law though that authorizes the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to have administration regulations with regards to a minor driver licensing applicant.

This administration regulation, KRS 186.400, requires participating schools to inform the Transportation Cabinet if a teenager withdraws from school or is academically deficient. Therefore as 17 year old and are deemed to be academically deficient and you drop out of a participating public school or you will lose your driver’s license.

Reader’s Question:

I am just wondering why my teenagers auto insurance rates are so high in Georgia?

Samuel

Auto insurance rates in Georgia are based on statistics. According to statistics show that teens have more incident of crashes. Young drivers have very high rates of both nonfatal and fatal crashes compared with drivers of other ages.

There are newer approaches now such as Canada’s graduated driver licensing that are being enacted to try to reduce teenage crashes and the injuries and deaths they cause.

Teens have more crashes in vehicles whether the rates are based on the total number of teenagers, on miles driven or on the number with licenses. Both miles driven per license holder and license rates are lower among 16-19 year-olds than among drivers age twenty and older (as a group), so when crash involvement is based on the number of licensed motorists instead of total population, the fatality rate of young drivers is even more extreme compared with mature drivers.
