In a survey of 500 consumers about their knowledge of auto insurance, Progressive Insurance found 63 percent of respondents didn't know that the bad driving of others affected their car insurance rates.
Progressive also reported men were less likely than women to think bad drivers affect everyone's rates and at 30 percent, young consumers (ages 18-34) had the lowest awareness of any age group.
Eighty-nine percent of respondents told Progressive they would be upset if they found out they're paying more to offset the costs of underpriced drivers.
