## Resource

New Jersey drivers are facing skyrocketing car insurance rates—with some premiums jumping 32.5% in just two years, far outpacing inflation and triggering regulatory scrutiny. State regulators have approved many of these steep hikes, worsening an already dire affordability crisis. Critics warn this is pushing more motorists to go uninsured, creating dangerous ripple effects. Ratepayer advocates are pushing for slower, more equitable increases, while industry players blame rising repair costs, supply chain woes, and riskier roads. A new lawsuit challenges insurers’ use of credit scores and education in pricing, seen by some as discriminatory. Lawmakers are also being blamed for laws that allegedly inflate legal payouts, driving up premiums. The result? More drivers are choosing illegal, uninsured driving—fueling a dangerous cycle of rising costs and safety risks for everyone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
