1999 Car Guide
|
Our Criteria
|
The criteria used for selecting the models in our Car Guide include:
- Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS) that showed substantially better-than-average,
better-than-average, or average results for personal injury
loss, driver death
rate and
collision loss evaluations.
- Overall crashworthiness evaluation of good, acceptable
or marginal based on recent crash test data from the
IIHS (Note: Not all vehicles
on the list were tested by the IIHS).
- A minimum front-driver and passenger air bags. Some models
are now equipped with side-impact air bags.
- Four-wheel antilock brakes are either standard equipment
or an extra-cost option.
- No rating increase has been assigned based on ERIE's Car
Experience rating (CER) program. This program rates vehicles
based on their overall
physical damage loss experience.
- No performance car surcharge applies.

Discounts for safety features
|
Erie Insurance continues
to recognize the safety benefits of antilock brakes when used correctly.
In fact, we offer a 10% discount on some coverages if the vehicle is
equipped with antilock brakes on all four wheels.
