40% of Vehicles Uninsured: Centre

The Indian government has disclosed to the Supreme Court that 40% of vehicles on the country's roads are not insured, posing significant risks and financial burdens. This revelation highlights a critical issue in traffic management and road safety. Non-insured vehicles complicate accident claims and legal processes, potentially leaving victims without adequate compensation.

The government is considering stricter enforcement of existing laws and increased public awareness campaigns to address this problem. Enhanced collaboration between insurance companies and the transport department is also suggested to ensure compliance. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is reviewing policies to mandate real-time insurance verification systems at vehicle registration points and during traffic stops.

The lack of insurance coverage has far-reaching implications, not only endangering road users but also impacting the economy due to potential increases in medical and legal costs from uninsured accidents. Ensuring all vehicles are insured is crucial for enhancing road safety and reducing the financial burden on accident victims.
