| Telematics are revolutionizing the insurance industry by how carriers are gathering insurance data on their insureds. This wealth of data helps carriers understand causes of loss, develop rates, and tailor policies for individuals. But, are you sharing the benefits of this software with your clients? How often are you encouraging insureds to enroll in these telematic programs? Because you might be saving them more than just a few dollars on their insurance. You can play a part in saving lives. In the most recent issue of IA Magazine, "2020 motor vehicle deaths were up 8% from 2019, which is the highest percentage increase in 13 years, according to the National Safety Council." The statistics do not provide a feel good story for what the future will hold for drivers as almost 25% drivers admit to texting or responding to a work email while driving. First-off, if you contribute to that 25%, STOP! But, pay it forward by encouraging your insureds to participate in carrier telematic programs. Yes, the immediate benefit is the possibility of saving money on their auto insurance premium, but more importantly it might save a life.Learn more about this topic and other relevant information in the Big I's magazine, IA Magazine.
