The traffic police stated that after the coronavirus suspension and curfew period, many services have resumed including vehicle registration.  Vehicle insurance guarantees the rights of affectees in a traffic accident. 

You might have noticed that hit and run cases have been increasing in Saudi Arabia. The major reason for the increase in the hit and run cases is that the vehicle owner does not have insurance to cover the damage caused to the other party.
