NEW HOME ACT,

Third-Party Risk Disclosures.

Insurance firms engaged in paring certificates for compulsory third-party insurance, which came into force under the Road Act on January 1, have been surprised by the number of motorists who hitherto have not been insured.

##

"A very large percentage of car. Jowners in rural areas, said

insurance official, "have had no poilcles whatever. We have even found people with cars for hire who were not covered againat third party risks."

The Automobile Association computes that five per cent. of a total of about 2,500,000 motorials of all types were not insured. This means that at least 125,000 people have been driving about the country without any third- party Insurance.
