RALEIGH, N.C. -

North Carolina drivers could soon see an increase in their car insurance.

Last month a group representing insurance companies asked for a 13 percent hike. But instead the State Insurance Commissioner asked them to cut rates by 16 percent.

The rate bureau is now appealing the ruling and revised its request to a 10 percent hike. While the appeal is being worked out insurers can charge higher rates.
