Mary,
A lot of people aren’t happy with their auto insurance these days, either because of its high cost or they wish they had more discounts. But if you happen to be a teacher, you don’t have much to worry about.
The discounts are apparently based on the assumptions that teachers have a stable occupation, stable employment, and the understanding that the community scrutinizes them. These companies claim that stable jobs, being under the watchful eyes of society, and having responsibility make teachers more likely to be better drivers and therefore deserving of auto insurance discounts.
You will be able to use your good driving record to your advantage due to your status as a “good driver.” There’s a discount available for people with an engineering or science degree; specifically, most insurance companies offer a teacher discount because teachers are rated as “above average drivers” by the Auto Insurance companies.
