Old Mutual Insure spokesperson Lizo Mnguni says it is worrying to see that the number of accidents is almost back pre-pandemic levels
The number of road accidents in SA is almost back to what it was before Covid-19.
“One of the trends we are seeing in terms of claims is that the number of road incidents such as accidents, including fender benders and more serious events, is almost back to what it was before Covid-19, which is very worrying,” said Old Mutual Insure spokesperson Lizo Mnguni. “Since many organisations have adopted hybrid working models and curfews have been suspended, drivers are back on the roads and more serious accidents, many of which involve fatalities, are being reported.”
“Of the estimated 11-million cars and drivers on the roads, it is believed only about one third, or about 3.5-million, are insured. This means if a driver is in an accident, the chances are high it involves an uninsured driver.”
