KUALA LUMPUR: Motor insurance policy holders should check the validity of their policies, especially if they obtained them from third-party sources, as several incidents have shown.

A 58-year-old ehailing driver who met with an accident with a motorist early last month learnt a bitter lesson when he found out the motor insurance policy he took out for his Perodua Axia had been revoked without his knowledge, leaving him to bear the repair costs of more than RM10,000, including repairs on the Mercedes-Benz he collided into.
