• Wayne County Drivers Save $539 Per Year Following Michigan Insurance Reform (wrif.com) — Wayne County drivers, including those in Grosse Pointe, are saving about $539 a year on auto insurance since Michigan’s 2019 no-fault reforms, the biggest drop in the state. The law now lets drivers choose their level of personal injury protection, bans ZIP code and credit-based pricing, and has attracted new insurers, though some worry about impacts on long-term medical care.
