The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has announced a new road traffic law that will require vehicle owners to either purchase insurance with towing coverage or subscribe to a towing service. If owners fail to comply, vehicles will be compulsorily towed and auctioned, with costs passed onto the owners. The new regulations eliminate the previous grace period, mandating immediate towing upon vehicle breakdowns or crashes.
Vehicle owners must also display an advance warning triangle and inform their service provider of any incidents. If vehicles are not reclaimed within seven days, they may be auctioned, and if unsold after 21 days, the state could confiscate and potentially scrap them. The aim is to prevent abandoned vehicles from posing additional hazards on roads.
