Yes, because car insurance policy also had clause on illegal activities. If police can prove that its illegal racing activity, they dont have to pay a cent. Anything that they willing to pay is just out of goodwill. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting the driver's life, there are 4 other lives, 1 other life with burns, and property damage. How much will be it? U can imagine the huge amount Any insurance company will be counting this amount in their books now, and deciding on their own limits to pay. If they can siam, they will do it. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pay, they are setting a precedent for future cases so rest assured they will argue their way. Many insurance have these T&C: 1. Driving and Use We will not cover any loss, damage, injury or liability should the Vehicle be used or driven: (a) outside the Geographical Area; (b) for purposes which are beyond the ‘Limitations As To Use’ described in the policy schedule; (c) by persons outside the “Person or Classes of Persons Entitled to Drive” described in the Policy Schedule; (d) by any person who is not Your Authorised Driver(s); (e) by any person not permitted to drive under licensing or other laws or regulations; (f) by any person attempting to hurt themselves or others or commit suicide; (g) any person under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication; (h) when it is not registered under the Road Traffic Act (Cap. 276) or when its registration under the Road Traffic Act (Cap. 276) has been cancelled; (i) with modification(s) that has not been declared to and accepted by Us; (j) for hire or reward; (k) for driving tuition/test, racing, pace making, reliability trial, speed testing or test driving; (l) for the carriage of goods other than samples in connection with any trade or business; and (m) for any purpose in connection with Motor Trade.

On the contrary, I support the insurer not paying to anything other than for the shophouse damages. So all those reckless drivers can take note they will be left to their/their families' own devices and would think hard before stomping on the accelerator! And don't make our premiums go up becos of reckless idiots like the 5 deceased. Edited February 22, 2021 by Volvobrick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a life plan with my cpf SA....$10000 worth in the 90s. Was promised $43000 when i reached age of 63. Three yrs back i called, the value was $24000 plus. Last month i called, it was $31000. This month I decided to surrender as it was $20000+ profit.......knn....the lady said the value was only $21000 and i still had profitted. That amount was about the same if i had never purchased their plan. My advice for anyone......when you want to surrender, do it personally.....not over the phone. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic February 22, 2021 Share February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Lethalstrike said: That will also depends on how the insurance companies want to play around this, considering this was a high profile case. Back in 2012, the Ferrari 599 GTO case at Victoria Street, I think the insurance did compensated to the taxi driver and his female passenger. As for Ma Chi and his unfortunate female companion of the night, I'm not too sure if they are covered. For this case, if the police has eye witnesses coming forward to say that they are already doing rounds before the accident, which I believe the police already had, I guess the insurance company have more valid grounds to argue their case around their definition of "accident". Clearly, this was intended reckless driving no matter how one argues. It all boils down to police report. In the case of Ma Chi, AXA paid all 3rd party bodily injury or death. Subsequently, AXA sued Ma Chi estate to recover payment to 3rd party. This part was settled of out of court. http://www.alcoinsurance.com.sg/claim-service-case-ferrari/ ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
