California's insurance commissioner announced a proposed rule yesterday allowing auto insurers to offer drivers the option of policies based on close monitoring of their mileage.
The new regulation was promoted by Commissioner Steve Poizner as "green auto insurance." It would benefit the environment by reducing auto emissions as motorists cut their mileage.
"Any incentive like this to get people to drive fewer miles will help reduce greenhouse gases and vehicle accidents," he said in a statement.
