Basing car insurance on profession

Allstate Insurance examined 10 million car insurance policies over a three-year period and examined accident claims according to profession. The results suggest people in certain jobs are less likely to have car accidents. As a result of the study, Allstate classified three levels of drivers.
Level three drivers receive a five per cent discount. They include: accountants, carpenters, elevator operators and telephone repairmen. Level two drivers receive a 10 per cent discount. They include: biologists, chemists, economists, judges and veterinarians. Level one is designated for Allstate employees, who also get a 10 per cent discount. The company says that doesn't mean they're less likely to have an accident than level two drivers.

Allstate officials say they did the study because they are always searching for ways to reward customers with safe driving records.
