Policyholders are reminded that under the Non-Injury Motor Accident Report
Scheme, they are required to lodge motor accident reports with the reporting
centres authorised by insurance companies. They need not lodge non-injury accident
reports with the police. This scheme aims to expedite the processing of claims
and facilitate the retrieval of accident reports at lower cost.
For injury accidents* or non-injury accidents involving
a government vehicle/damage to government property, a foreign vehicle**,
a pedestrian or cyclist, or non-injury "hit-and-run" cases, drivers are required
to lodge police reports in addition to the motor accident reports which they
will still have to lodge with their insurance companies.
For general motor enquiries, please call our 6788-6616.
