THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE
Query By Reader Answered How many motorists who pay their £2 2s third-party insurance premium when reregistering their cars each year understand exactly what this insurance is? “I have paid third-party insurance for years, yet have never known just what I am insured against. It costs me £2 2s for what?” writes “Motorist.” in a letter to the editor of “The Press.” Under the Transport Act, 1949. no motor-vehicle can be registered until it is insured in this way. The relevant part of the act reads:— “Every person being the owner of a motor-vehicle . . . shall insure against his liability to pay damages on account of the death of any person, or of bodily injury to any person, in the event of the death or bodily injury being caused by, or through, or in connexion with, the use of that motor-vehicle in New Zealand.”
