What Insurance Covers Car Accidents?
In general, car insurance in Malaysia has three main types: Comprehensive, Third Party, Fire and Theft, and Third-Party. However, in the event of a car accident, only Comprehensive and Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance will cover you, but to different extents.
🛡️Comprehensive insurance, is the one with full coverage. It protects you, the other driver, and your own car, regardless of who caused the accident. It’s like having a super shield that covers everything: whether it’s damaged in a fire, stolen, or just needs a repair after an accident you’re covered from every angle!
💥 Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance is like having a trusty sidekick on the road! It covers you if you cause injuries or damage to others and protects your vehicle from fire and theft. Here’s the catch; it won’t cover the damage to your own car due to an accident.
🚗Third-party insurance is the minimum legal requirement, and it takes care of any injuries or damage caused to the other party involved in the accident. But here’s the twist: it won’t protect your own car from fire, theft, or any damage.
Can a Dashcam Save You Money on Your Car Insurance?
Dashcam are becoming increasingly popular in Malaysia as a tool to improve road safety. A survey in 2022 by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) found that:
- 80.4% of Malaysian drivers want dash cams mandated in cars
- 99.5% of drivers surveyed supported the use of dash cams as evidence for road-related accidents
- 83.6% of respondents believe dash cams are shaping them to become better drivers and adhere to road rules
Globally, it is estimated that there are 37 million dashcam users. In Malaysia, dashcam can be recognized as documentary evidence under Section 3 of the Evidence Act and help protect drivers in case of road crashes by providing crucial evidence.
Here’s how a dashcam can put some extra ringgit back in your pocket:
- Reduces Dispute Hassles: Fuzzy memories and conflicting stories can lead to claim delays or even rejections. A dashcam cuts through the confusion by providing undeniable video proof.
- Lowers Insurance Premiums: Insurance companies love safe drivers! Having a dashcam shows them you’re a responsible driver less likely to get into accidents. This can translate to lower premiums in the long run.
What Happens When You Have a Car Accident Without Insurance?
Let’s face it, accidents happen. But if you’re caught without car insurance, things can get messy (and expensive) fast. You’ll be liable for any damage caused to the other party’s vehicle and injuries, not to mention repairs to your own car.
How Many Car Accidents Happen in Malaysia Last Year?
The statistics are sobering. According to Paultan.org and Malaymail, the numbers are a serious wake-up call. 🚨 In 2023 alone, Malaysia saw about 600,000 road accidents, claiming 6,443 lives—an average of 18 fatalities every single day. �� Let’s all commit to safer driving and make our roads a safer place for everyone!
What Causes Car Accidents?
Many factors contribute to road accidents, but some common culprits include:
- Distracted driving (think texting and driving!)
- Speeding
- Driving under the influence
- Reckless lane changes
- Poor weather conditions
Remember to always stay alert and drive safe, guys and gals!
