* * * * Motorists and Third-Party Risks

On Friday, November 7th, a beginning was made with implementing the new Road Traffic Act. The Regulations issued refer to third-party insurance, which is henceforth to be compulsory for all motor vehicles. Insurance offices will issue certificates to policy-holders before January 1st, 1981 (on which date the new Regula- tions become operative), without the necessity for any special application. A certificate must always be carried by a driver, and it must be produced before a new Road Fund licence can be issued.
