April 4 - Easter in South Africa means countless news stories about horrific car accidents and road-related fatalities. Now the latest industry statistics reveal that a shocking 60% of all South African drivers have no car insurance. It's an unacceptable combination that will cost our country billions this year. Road safety in South Africa is already an oxymoron at the best of times, but put us all on the highway during the holiday season and driving becomes a true nightmare. To exacerbate the problem by driving without any insurance is inexcusable, but that's the situation for the majority of the country. There are affordable car insurance options out there with direct providers like Dial Direct cutting costs of policies, and the alternative of causing an accident with no coverage could be financially disastrous. If you are responsible for damages the owner of the other vehicle is entitled to sue you directly. If it's a luxury motor car this could ruin your entire life. Conversely, if you have no insurance and your own car is damaged the expenses may have to be covered by your personal savings. If you do not have car insurance you should not be allowed on the roads. The lack of road safety in South Africa already costs us an astonishing twelve billion Rand every year, and that total is rising. For your own sake and the sake of other drivers please make sure you have car insurance!
