Research Shows That Teachers Are Safer Drivers

Teachers' Insurance Plan Is Lowering the Cost of Car Insurance in Indiana

According to research conducted by Teachers' Insurance Plan(TM), teachers are safer and more responsible than other drivers and, as a result, paying too much for their auto insurance coverage. To address that fact, Teachers' has a unique insurance program that will enable Indiana teachers to obtain lower cost car insurance.

Teachers' Insurance Plan was formed in 1992 on the principle that teachers are safer drivers and more responsible members of the community. "Our analysis of actuarial and demographic data found that educators, as a group, present a smaller risk than other drivers," said Steve Oakley, vice president and program manager of Teachers' Insurance Plan. "In addition to being safe drivers, experience shows that educators often commute fewer days of the year and work closer to home. Those factors contribute to lower insurance risk."

"Our underwriter, Response Worldwide Insurance Company, is a leader in insuring safe, responsible drivers," said Oakley. "We decided that Indiana's more than 85,000 educators should reap the savings benefit associated with safe driving."

The plan is available to active and retired members of the educational community, including educators and administrators at schools, universities, school districts, and libraries. Educators can go to www.teachers.com or call 1-800-2TEACHERS for more information.
