Compulsory motor insurance

Compulsory motor insurance, vehicle owner's civil liability insurance, or motor insurance.

None of the above is the same type of insurance, but drivers use all of these terms to refer to compulsory civil liability insurance (hereinafter, MTPL) for vehicle owners. Vehicle owners do not always like this type of insurance, as they see it as an extra, unnecessary expense; in the view of experts, this is a rather selfish approach. Experts are confident that few vehicle owners would be able to compensate quickly and without undue pressure for damage of 2 000 000 tenge that they have caused; as a rule, in such a case the vehicle owner starts avoiding the person to whom they owe compensation. A compulsory motor insurance policy provides social protection for vehicle owners and is designed to protect injured parties from accidental hazards on the road or from careless drivers by compensating, if not the moral, then the material part of the damage.
