Washington state bill will allow "pay as you go" insurance
Legislators want insurance companies to offer auto insurance that would charge rates based on how much someone drives. The so-called pay-as-you-drive insurance is aimed at getting people to cut back on their driving and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
Polly Freeman performing errands after work on her bike and collects her 6-year old son, Nate, from school at West Woodlands Elementary.
