Drivers across the U.S. are struggling with the growing cost of car insurance, which rose 2.6 percent in March from February and 22.2 percent from a year earlier, according to the latest data on inflation shared by the Labor Department.

Shannon Martin, a licensed insurance agent and Bankrate analyst, told Newsweek that skyrocketing car insurance premiums might have something to do with rising inflation.
