In a bid to improve road safety and streamline the claims process for accident victims, the government has proposed amendments to the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act. One of the key changes includes a 12-month deadline for filing accident claims, aiming to expedite the resolution of cases and ensure timely compensation for victims.
Additionally, the proposed amendments seek to provide legal clarity on the commercial use of two-wheelers, recognizing their growing role in the gig economy and delivery services. By establishing a clear regulatory framework, the government aims to promote safe and responsible use of two-wheelers for commercial purposes while ensuring compliance with safety standards.
The proposed changes reflect the government's commitment to enhancing road safety, improving the efficiency of the legal process for accident claims, and adapting regulations to meet the evolving transportation landscape. Stakeholders, including transport associations and road safety advocates, have been invited to provide feedback on the proposed amendments, ensuring a comprehensive approach to updating the MV Act.
