Auto Insurance 101 Now Available for Everyone

Mark Hanna, who is Manager of Public Relations for Insurance Council of Texas, put out the following information in an email today concerning a video entitled “Auto Insurance 101”.  The direct link to the video is http://www.iii.org/static/video/mediaplayer/m1tvwmvmultix.htm.

=================================================

The easiest way to learn about auto insurance in Texas is now just a click away. An 18-minute video produced by the Insurance Council of Texas entitled, Auto Insurance 101, has been video streamed and can be viewed by clicking on ICT’s Web site at http://www.insurancecouncil.org/consumertips.asp

The video features a University of Texas at Austin actress and a real Texas Department of Public Safety trooper who discuss what auto insurance is all about. The setting starts off on an urban street, proceeds to a classroom and then ends back on the roadway.

“We produced the video with teenagers in mind, but people of all ages could benefit from viewing it,” said Mark Hanna, the video’s producer and a spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas. “We hope by having it available on our Web site that both young and older drivers can finally get an education on auto insurance in Texas.”

The award winning video was distributed to every high school in Texas through the Regional Education Service Network and also to Texas driver’s training and driver’s education courses. The video has also been made available to insurance agents throughout the state.

Auto Insurance 101 is divided into three segments allowing viewers to pause during the video and discuss what they’ve learned. The video describes what insurance is mandatory in Texas and what a typical auto insurance policy offers. The video also covers what to do if you have an accident and where to turn for information or filing a complaint.

“This is one of the few videos that give drivers a basic understanding of an auto insurance policy,” Hanna said. “Very few people have ever received any classroom instruction on auto insurance. Here’s their chance.”
