Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Insurance Council of Zimbabwe (ICZ) said that at least 40 per cent of cars on Zimbabwe\u2019s roads do not have third-party motor insurance.<\/p>\n

ICZ spokesperson Ringisai Batiya said, as a result, victims of road traffic accidents fail to get compensation when they are injured while travelling on uninsured vehicles.<\/p>\n

This has also seen the government often shouldering the financial burden of meeting the medical bills of victims of vehicle accidents. Said Batiya:<\/p>\n

About 40% of the approximately 1.5 million vehicles on the national database do not have third-party motor insurance.<\/p>\n

Through campaigns, ICZ has been educating and raising awareness on the need to comply with statutory requirements that every vehicle on the road should have third-party motor insurance.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe National Road Authority (ZINARA) announced that all vehicles without valid licence disks were not being allowed to pass through tollgates with effect from 1 October this year.<\/p>\n

Batiya said the move by ZINARA will compel motorists to comply with statutory insurance regulations.:<\/p>\n

The winner in this are road accident victims who will access compensation through insurance claims.<\/p>\n

The move also forces vehicle registration which helps in traceability of stolen cars and tracking cars being used to commit crime.<\/p>\n

According to ZINARA, about 300 000 vehicles do not have licence disks.<\/p>\n
