it was reported in the papers that a few concerned parties are looking into the feasibility of having a no-fault system for motor insurance in singapore....
so why should we subscribe to such a system? what are the merits.....? is there any in the first place? i am not very sure about this..... but it certainly hurts the drivers who were not at fault cos under this system, you have to pay for damages caused by other guilty parties...... no matter what happens, YOU PAY (YOU BLEED).....
some even suggested that accident reports should be made under oath ..... oh come on, dun be innocent...... does one seriously believe that everyone will be truthful under oath??? it is quite obvious when ppl appear in court, they may not even be telling the whole truth..... so how can this help? humans will simply lie to get things their way, no doubt about it...... especially when they wanna save their own skin......
what we need in the interim are accredited survey specialists............. independent, professional and accredited ppl who assess damages...... and ensure that no repairs/works shall commence without the approval of these specialists....... only then can we control the costs of parts and repairs............
as for the medical claims, it's up to the medical fraternity to do something about it.....
