SimonTan 2nd Gear February 16, 2012 Author Share February 16, 2012 How much is the third part liability for Singapore car insurance? How to protect common-car owners in China? A new insurance mechanism for luxury cars is necessary to protect common car owners from paying exorbitant compensation in case of accidents, says an article on people's.net. Excerpts: Media reports say a woman driving a Honda Accord, which collided with a Rolls-Royce in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, was forced to accept the responsibility for the accident and pay 390,000 yuan (S$78,350) as compensation when her insurance ceiling for third party liability was only 200,000 yuan, which means she has to pay 190,000 yuan. A public debate has started on what a person driving an ordinary car involved in an accident with a luxury vehicle is supposed to do to pay an unaffordable compensation. Insurance companies are unwilling to grant special insurance coverage to luxury cars because the compensation is usually very high. This adds to common car owners' risk because they may have to pay sky-high compensation if they are involved in accidents with luxury cars. The problem is how to share the risks on the road. For example, before World War II there were few cars in Japan, and thus a driver took great care while driving. But with the popularity of cars increasing, the law expanded the duty of pedestrians in 1955. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briansoh 1st Gear February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Just dont bang anything and you will be fine.. simple enough right? Its not so much about the money when it comes to accidents but the safety of people. Material things can be replaced or repaired but people's lives cannot. Drive safe and that should be your biggest concern. Not how much money you are insured in the event of an accident! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the only insurance policy that proven itself for me so far, is to try very hard not to hit anyone/anything with my car, and to avoid my car being hit too. Always buy hatchback except the Accent got no hatchback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyMcG1978 Neutral Newbie May 9, 2012 Share May 9, 2012 Good thing we don't have those insurance companies in Singapore! Obviously the best 'insurance' is to be very careful but there's a reason why they're called accidents..I got my accident insurance from DBS, they cover up to S$5 million third-party damage cover in event of damage to third-party property while driving the insured vehicle. I don't think there is any car out there that will cost more than $5 million to repair. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
