Importance of having car insurance for driving in Delhi
In India, having third-party insurance for every vehicle is mandated by law. It protects you against liabilities arising from the injuries caused to others or damage to their properties by your insured vehicle. Driving without it can lead to legal problems and even heavy penalties. However, if you have a comprehensive car insurance policy, it will also cover your vehicle, apart from third-party liabilities.
