1799.2 - Driver improvement course discounts.

     § 1799.2.  Driver improvement course discounts.
        (a)  Motor vehicle driver improvement course.--All insurance
     companies authorized to write private passenger automobile
     insurance within this Commonwealth shall provide a premium
     discount for each motor vehicle on a policy under which all
     named insureds are 55 years of age or older and have
     successfully completed a motor vehicle driver improvement course
     meeting the standards of the Department of Transportation. This
     discount shall apply to all coverages for all policy periods
     beginning within the three-year period immediately following the
     successful completion of the course and shall be approved by the
     commissioner as part of the insurer's rate filing, provided that
     such discount shall not be less than 5%. The successful
     completion of more than one course within a three-year period
     does not qualify the insured for additional discounts. The
     premium discount required by this subsection may be omitted upon
     demonstration to the commissioner in an insurer's rate filing
     that the discount is duplicative of a driver improvement course
     discount provided by the insurer.
        (b)  Completion of course.--Upon successfully completing the
     approved course, each participant shall be issued, by the
     course's sponsoring agency, a certificate which shall be the
     basis of qualification for the discount on insurance.
        (c)  Continuing eligibility.--Each participant shall take an
     approved course every three years to continue to be eligible for
     the discount on insurance. Each insurer may require, as a
     condition of providing and maintaining the discount, that the
     insured for a three-year period after course completion:
            (1)  not be involved in an accident for which the insured
        is chargeable;
            (2)  not be convicted of an offense enumerated in section
        1535 (relating to schedule of convictions and points); and
            (3)  not be convicted or have accepted Accelerated
        Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) for driving under the
        influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
        (d)  Nonapplicability.--This section shall not apply in the
     event the approved course is specified by a court or other
     governmental entity resulting from a conviction of an offense
     enumerated in section 1535.
