Page 10 College Station, Texas Wednesday, June 6,. 1973 Economy Cars, Car Pools May Increase In AUSTIN—An insurance indus try spokesman said today that the predicted energy crisis may lead many Texas drivers to drive smaller cars and increase the use of car pools. “The small, economy type car has the double advantage of using less fuel and being cheaper to insure,” said Leon Embry, chair man of the governing committee, Texas Automobile Insurance Serv ice Office. “In an energy crisis the savings on fuel and insurance premiums may be hard to pass up.” Mr. Embry said participation in a car pool can be beneficial both from a fuel and time saving stand point. He also added some words of caution and explanation on car pools from an insurance stand point. Insurance on privately owned, pool-shared vehicles is placed! in jeopardy only if the pool is oper ated for a profit. In the situation where everyone in the pool uses his car an equal amount of time there is, of course, no problem. The problem most often arises when one of the car pool partici pants does not share in the driv ing chores and thus pays a regu lar fee. To preserve insurance cover age, Mr. Embry pointed out, any car pool fee should not be more than the fair share of the gas, oil and general depreciation on the car. A simpler way for the non-sharing passengers to reim burse the pool members is to give a gift somtime during the year to the drivers. This divorces the concept of “fee” from the privilege of riding in a car pool and leaves the in surance protection intact. In the case of car pools involv ing children, Mr. Embry stressed the importance of wearing seat belts not only to protect them in case of an accident, but also to prevent the kind of children’s antics that might distract the driver’s attention. Once a car pool participant is convinced his regular auto insur ance is valid, his next concern is the amount of coverage he has. He should consider bodily in jury liability coverage with high limits, since this is what protects him against claims others — in cluding his “pool” passengers — can bring against him after an accident. As an example, limits of $300,- 000-$500,000 would provide up to $300,000 coverage for one injury in an accident with a $500,000 per accident limit. Medical payments is another important coverage. If written with limits of $1,000, each person in the car can receive up to $1,000 for medical expenses incurred within one year of an accident regardless of who is at fault. Mr. Embry empasized that be cause the dollar limit applies to each passenger separately, then is no need to increase the limit in order otcover additional sengers.
