4 THE MEGAPHONE January 15,1982 —
Office of Career Development: Services
surer’s participation is in proportion to
the amount of business it writes volun-
tarily. Each insurer must accept the
motorists to Jt< wMoIhg"the profit or ab-
sorbing the losses from this “involun-
tary" class of business. ।
The shared or Involuntary market has
consistently operated at a financial
loss, with the result that the high risk
driver is subsidized by car owners who
obtain their insurance in the regular
marketplace.
The newly enacted Texas law requir-
ing liability Insurance will be a further
aid In identifying high risk drivers who
are a cost to everyone. '
Finally, there is the nonstandard
market to which car owners whose In-
surance heeds cannot be met by the
assigned risk pool must turn.
Those with bad accident records or
high-powered sports cars may turn to
the non-standard market for more
coverage than the assigned risk pool of-
fers, if it can accommodate these
drivers at all.

’ For the first time, motorists are RE-
QUIRED to be covered by liability in-
surance. Texas legislature enacted the
compulsory liability insurance law
which goes into effect January 1, 1982.
Minimums required are: bodily Injury
protection of $10,000 per person
($20,000 for two or more persons) and
w
property damage of $5,000.
Expect tough enforcement from all
law enforcement officials who may re-
quest proof of insurance at every routine
traffic encounter. First offense is class
C misdemeanor, not less than $75 fine
payable at municipal court. Second and
subsequent offenses move to class B
mnisdemeanor, with fine of NOT LESS
THAN $200.00, with license and registra-
tion suspended.
Up to 30 percent of all Texas drivers
are not currently covered.
WAYS DRIVERS CAN SAVE MONEY
1. Drive defensively, have no ac-
cidents, do not speed.
Driving records for 3 years form basis
for insurance premiums. More than
three tickets or one driver’s fault accl-
it seems appropriate to begin a new
semester with a reminder of the services
of the Office of Career Development.
Just for basics, it is located in the Cullen
Building in with the Registrar, open 8-12
and 1-5 Monday through Friday. The
director is Anne Matthews and the stu-
dent assistant is Traci Dattalo.The
phone extension Is 1953. You are en-
couraged to drop by at any time.
1. Individual career counseling:
Because of the size and atmosphere of
Southwestern there is plenty of oppor-’
tunity for you to come by and explore
your Individual career needs with the
director. One aid in this process is the
CAREER CONTACT program whereby
you can contact alumni working in your
field or fields of interest.
2. Workshops: This spring, four
workshops are offered twice for your'
convenience. All sessions are 8-9:00
p.m. In the Library Classroom:

ment; schedules are available so that

career planning. So far, 17 students are-
signed up to go through process of iden-
tifying their Interests, writing a resume,
practicing job interviews, and learning
other information pertinent to their In-
dividual career plans. Seniors can
benefit most from this course, but It is
open to all students.

endnd transferal to county mutual or
assigned risk pool policy.
2. Take a Defensive Driving Course
(DDC).
Texas Safety Association statistics
show those who complete the 8-hour
Defensive Driving Course (DDC) are bet-
ter drivers. The Texas State Board of In-
surance allows insurance companies to
grant those who complete the course a
ten percent reduction in Insurance rates.

three years and can be renewed by tak-
ing the eight-hour course again, is allow-
ed for the principal driver of each family
car, and applies to policies written by
rate-regulated carriers. Discounts are
given at the discretion of assigned risk
pool and county mutual carriers.

Safety Council in Chicago, Illinois, and
administered by the Texas Safety

hibits formation of new county mutuals.
Total liability coverage written by coun-
try mutuals in 1980 was $83,755,330.
Auto liability insurance can be
transferred by agencies or brokers from
rate-regulated company to non-rate
regulated county mutuals provided (
policy owner receives 30 day notice.
Premiums are generally higher for coun-
ty mutual policy.
Insurers are reluctant to cover drivers
whose poor driving records show them
to be bad insurance risks, or those who
have not been driving long enough to
demonstrate a safe driving pattern.
To accommodate those persons,
special facilities have been established
in every state and the District of Colum-
bia. Private insurers participate directly
in several types of automobile insurance
plans (commonly kngwn as “assigned
risk plans”) In every state except
Maryland which has had a state-
operated plan (the Maryland Automobile
Insurance Fund) since 1973.
Most states operate under a risk
assignment system in which an auto in-
