Canberra third party insurance costs to be cut with court reform
Me evant said he secured a firm undertaking from the Commissioner for Police to strengthen patrols in Cantorra to reduce accidents. Proposals include streamlining the court system for third party claims and the ACT Department accepting party premium payments for insurers to cut costs. Aims include lowering the planned rise by 7.90 for private and business cars and allowing Court of Petty Sessions to adjudicate some third party claims within months. Strong driver education is urged as a key remedy. NRMA Insurance Manager Lambie says the rate increase is a surprise and below the ACT committee's recommendation, and they will consider their position.
