Compulsory vehicle insurance a must :: Mmegi Online

The population of vehicles is growing everyday on our roads and highways, a phenomenon which contributes to the increase in the number of fatal accidents. It is easier for a 21-year-old man or woman or any other person to buy a car today than it was a decade ago, thanks to the import of second hand vehicles from Asia.

The vehicles are not only affordable to many of us, they are also comfortable to drive and fast. They have improved the lives of many families at the same degree as they have brought misery to others.

On average, five people die every week on our roads, whilst the police also record thousands of minor accidents during the same period. Many of the minor accidents occur either due to careless driving, or drunken driving, and they cause huge inconvenience to the victims. In some instances, the offender disappears into thin air, whilst in other cases such offenders are unable to pay the costs of the repairs needed on the affected vehicles.
