WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - January 26, 2009
The survey by the Insurance Research Council suggests the reason
is the economic downturn. It predicts the number of uninsured
drivers in Delaware and across the country may hit an all-time high
as unemployment numbers rise.
Maryland, at 12 percent, is the only other state in the region
with a double-digit percentage of drivers without insurance. New
Jersey's figure is 8 percent, and Pennsylvania's is 7 percent.
Nationally, the state with the highest percentage of uninsured
drivers is New Mexico, with 29 percent. Massachusetts has the
lowest percentage, just 1 percent.
