1 March 2017TURKEY: Mehmet Simsek: 'We are working towards a new model for traffic insurance'
Vice President, Mehmet Simsek, was on the live broadcast of NTV.
"Traffic insurance is an obligatory insurance type," said Mr. Simsek,
having explained that they are working towards a new model for traffic
insurance emphasizing the drawbacks of the current system. "The system
is designed to compensate the damage one causes to the other. Therefore,
the one needs to be insured is rather the driver, not the vehicle. Say,
the vehicle is insured but it was trusted to an inexperienced driver.
Such factors are leading to increased premium payments. I instructed the
Treasury and they are working on it. There is a similar system in
effect in the UK where the driver is insured. Such a system considers
not only the risks the vehicle is exposed to but also the risks drivers
are exposed to. With this system we believe the number of traffic
accidents and damages will be reduced, which in return will lower the
premiums," he added.
