Still just talking about it.

Compulsory third party insurance considered
1:00PM Wednesday June 18, 2008

The Government is seeking views on whether third party vehicle insurance should be compulsory.

Transport Safety Minister Harry Duynhoven, a long-time advocate of the idea, today released a discussion paper on the issue which also looks at whether regulation of the insurance industry was needed.

The process aims to see if there is public support for a compulsory third party scheme.

"About a quarter of vehicles in New Zealand are not insured. The insurance industry estimates the cost of uninsured motorists is between $53 million and $85 million each year," Mr Duynhoven said.

"At present, those who have vehicle insurance are paying for the costs of all motorists through their insurance premiums."
