The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 makes it very clear that no vehicle owner shall drive or permit any person to operate an automobile in any public setting in the nation without a legitimate vehicle registration certificate. This prohibition applies to both the driver and the passenger/s of the automobile. Additionally, the vehicle’s registration mark needs to be publicly placed on both the front and the back of the automobile. To violate the law is to commit an offence that may lead to legal consequences.

Is motorcycle insurance mandatory in Telangana?

The Indian Motor Vehicle Act, section 146 specifies that the legally required minimum level of automobile insurance must consist of third-party general liability. This requirement is in place to ensure that the driver’s vehicle features some level of financial protection in the event that an accident occurs. It is required that people get insurance for their automobiles regardless of whether they use them for private, recreational, or leisure purposes or for business-related activities. The certificate of insurance for the vehicle is to be kept by the vehicle driver at all times, and if questioned by a law enforcement officer, they must be able to present it.

The insured is protected against legal and financial obligations that may emerge as a consequence of the insured’s actions, such as the death of a third party, damage to a private entity, or harm to a third party’s possessions. This protection comes in the form of an insurance contract called third-party liability coverage. Owing to its limited benefits, it is suggested that you choose a thorough two-wheeler insurance cover instead. This type of policy provides a higher level of protection and offers benefits for a wide range of occurrences that end up causing damage or injury to you or your vehicle. In addition, this type of policy is more affordable.
