The importance of obtaining car insurance before you even turn the key of your new vehicle for the first time cannot be over emphasized. With the number of unlicensed and reckless drivers, combined with the number of dilapidated vehicles and the condition of many roads, driving without car insurance is dangerous, irresponsible and foolish.

Some individuals are still under the impression that since they are brilliant, cautious and responsible drivers, the pairing of car and insurance doesn’t apply to them.
