((Here's what happened when the british transport authority ran a sport utility vehicle at a small car. no contest. At america's highway loss data institute they say there's a mismatch on the roads and it means higher insurance rates for car owners.
While the bigger sports utility vehicles, like the ford expedition and the chevy suburban suffer on average 31% less damage in collisions, they inflict 72% more damage than the average car.
But that doesn't mean suv owners pay higher insurance rates. While collision rates are based on the make and model you own, liability rates, the amount you pay when you hit another vehicle, are not. some in the industry are asking for a reappraisal:
HAZELBAKER: SOME VEHICLES LIKE SMALLER PASSENGER CARS ARE UNDERWRITING DAMAGE DONE BY LARGE UTILITY VEHICLES'
When Farmers insurance started selling policies in Pennsylvania recently, they added a 5% premium to suv owners in that state. but they have not changed their policy in the 29 other states they cover:
DIANE TASAKA/FARMER'S INSURANCE: IN THE NEAR TERM, EXCEPT FOR PENNSYLVANIA, FARMERS IS NOT PLANNING TO INCREASE RATES ON SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES.
Other major insurers say they're studying the situation. in the meantime more and more Americans are buying S.U.V.s.

The political operatives are spinning tonight over the campaign of Democrat Don Beyer.
For the last two weeks, the Beyer campaign has been scaling back TV advertising across the state.
On this station, Beyer has cancelled from 16 to 42- percent of the time he bought each week in the month of October.
This week, Jim Gilmore INCREASED his media buys.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=@file;

But a spokesman for Jim Gilmore says the Beyer cancellations are the sign of "a desperate campaign, running out of money and ideas."
"NOT true" says Beyer's spokeswoman, Page Boinest.
She says they simply re-evaluated their TV needs.
Despite the changes, the bottom line is that when Gilmore bought more time and Beyer gave some up -- they ended up with roughly the same size buy on this station ... because Gilmore had initially purchased far less TV time than Beyer.
