”This gives people the false impression,’’said John Tiene, director of the Insurance Council of New Jersey.
Figures expected to be officially released later this week by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners show that New Jersey drivers pay an average of $ 1138 for its policy during the year 1998. Drivers in neighbouring countries much lower price paid: $ 960 in New York, Connecticut $ 901, $ 845 to $ 723 Delaware and Pennsylvania.
