i have received a letter from my bike's insurer (mitsui sumitomo insurance) regarding the new framework that took effect on 1 June 2008... it said we have to:

 

(1) report the accident even when there is no damage, to the insurer through the approved reporting centres or authorised workshops or dedicated workshops within 24 hours or the next working day of the accident

 

AND

 

(2) if towing is required, use only the services from authorised or dedicated workshops

 

a list of reporting centres (e.g. IDAC bukit batok), authorised and dedicated workshops (e.g. looi's motor) is also attached for reference. boon siew is not in the list but lucky for me, i bought my SW from looi's

 

recommended actions:

• stay calm, assess for injuries
  
• if injuries are involved, report to police and call for ambulance as necessary
  
• exchange particulars (e.g. name, NRIC/FIN, address, contact numbers, insurer, etc)
  
• take down vehicle registration numbers
  
• take photographs of the vehicle (using camera or hp), focusing on visible damages (include undamaged views if possible)
  
• take photographs of accident scene as supporting evidence
  
• get witness and their particulars if possible (e.g. name, NRIC/FIN, contact numbers, etc)
  
• even if other party admit fault and offer to pay or paid damages, get written statement that he/she admits the fault for causing the accident
  
• if bike requires towing, call service from authorised or dedicated workshops
  
• together with the bike, report the accident to insurer through reporting centres or authorised or dedicated workshops

?

not sure how the procedures are like for accidents with foreign vehicles. but the same should apply... wonder how we can claim their insurance

guess "on the spot" settlements are preferred (if possible) unless injuries are involved

 

Launch a report with Insurance Coy and claimed?

Not sure about the steps... care to share? Don't want to be blur blur if something happens.

i see. but need to report within 24hours right?

I have gotten my bike shop to do file the claiming on my behalf

need to ensure your bike shop is one of the authorised or dedicated workshops appointed by your insurance company

[Sensible]

Great info.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Hi guys... Collected my new SW yesterday n got a couple of questions:

 

1. For those JDM models, I understand that there's hazard light switch on the right switch assembly while the EURO models doesn't come with. Izzit possible to swap the JDM switch assembly to the EURO cos I observed tat the part for the hazard switch is sealed on the EUROs. Anyone has the part no. for the JDM model right switch assembly?

 

2. Just gotten a pair of Stebel Magnum horns n gonna DIY on my SW. Wanna hav ideas on where you guys fix ur aftermarket horns.

 

Cheers!

Hi bro,

 

I'm not sure about qn1 'cos I don't think hazard lights are essential - just good to have. As for qn2, the horns can be fitted inside the fairing very nicely. But quite a troublesome job, cos they need to remove the fairing. I bought and fix mine at Motoworld.

Hi Eric78, i think the price is be a little high for a FZ-plater JDM. But the mileage is a hugh plus if it is genuine. What is your budget? There is a Tmax 500 posted for sale if you have class 2 licence. You probably can negotiate a good price cos the seller sounds like he is in a hurry.

 

If the price is right, I can consider to sell my 10/06 swing400, silver colour (euro), mileage abt 14,500km. Its one of my two bikes (the other is a srad750) and both are under-utilised.

 

i have been thinking of selling one of them to finance a off-peak-car, but haven't decided. can pm me if you are keen to explore.

hi bro, how much u sellin?

[MV]

does this look familiar? red hazard light right at the centre (buy your own switch at sim lim tower) http://h1.ripway.com/kager82/HazardLight.jpg

 

how about this? hazard light at left signal assembly (rocker-switch provided)

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=59446&d=1208587494

 

both done at tai hin but many motortiams also do

 

Hey bro! The first pic is exactly wat's on my mind. The switch's from Tai Hin oso? Fits nicely into the squarish slot on the center dash? How much roughly does Tai Hin charge for the installation n mod of Hazard light?

How Motor Claims Framework benefits all

WITH reference to the letters from Mr Alan Chuang and Mr Bernard Low on the Motor Claims Framework (MCF), the General Insurance Association (GIA) wishes to respond to several points raised.

Mr Chuang says MCF is anti-competitive as it restricts the motorist's right to choose his own repairer. This is incorrect. It essentially enhances motor insurers' current business models by promoting the early reporting of motor accidents as well as providing a full range of comprehensive services by insurers' appointed workshops.

 

MCF does not impose any change to the existing business model of insurers in terms of restriction of repair at specified workshops. Such restrictions on repairs, if any, depend on the type of motor insurance policy and this varies from insurer to insurer.

 

For example, if a customer buys a policy that allows him to repair his vehicle at any of his preferred workshops, he may go to a workshop that is not appointed or nominated by his insurer.

Mr Chuang also claims the MCF requirement for motorists to make a report within 24 hours, even if there is no vehicle damage, is a great inconvenience. We would like to reiterate that reporting all accidents to your insurer is important as it protects the interest of the motorist. No matter how minor the accident, or even when both parties have agreed to make a private settlement, it is still necessary to report because you can never be certain the other party will not file a claim against you later.

 

Mr Chuang further contends that MCF will allow insurers to increase premiums. GIA has stressed that MCF will help insurers minimise the cost of claims and if claims are contained, premiums should not rise. There are also no fees or charges involved in the reporting process when motorists inform their insurer of the motor accident.

 

Mr Low believes MCF will solely benefit motor insurers, to the detriment of all other parties, including motorists. We beg to differ. MCF was developed to provide motorists with clear and common procedures after an accident. Ultimately, motorists benefit from MCF because:

 

 

All insurers are committed to assist policyholders handle repairs of damaged vehicles, including helping policyholders to file claims against third parties if the policyholder is not liable;

 

Motorists will avoid potentially higher costs from inflated claims by early reporting of accidents; and

 

Motorists will have peace of mind knowing their vehicle repair and claims process is professionally handled.
