Awareness campaign for motorists to underwrite regulatory insurance policies

The Association des Assureurs du Cameroun (ASAC) launched on September 12 and 13, 2006 a large-scale campaign in order to raise awareness among motorists and, if need be, compel them to underwrite regulatory insurance policies. Several teams including insurers and police forces have patrolled the streets of Douala checking on the conformity of insurance certificates. Apart from insurance default, the verifications have shown frauds pertaining to the vehicles declared category as well as to the under pricing of some risks.
