What does CTP

The abbreviation for CTP is known to almost each inhabitant of the planet, not even having the car. Literally the term stands for "obligatory liability insurance". The insurance policy is a guarantee covering the losses that the owner of the vehicle may cause to other drivers. Initially, this insurance was not mandatory, but in the modern world the lack of motorist "insurance" is punishable by imposing a fine.

A bit of history

The idea of vehicle insurance has arisen several centuries ago. The home insurance is considered to be France. In 1800 years one of the most common types of transportation were omnibuses, which were a kind of a bench wagon. First omnibuses carried out the transportation with the help of horses, but quickly got a motor and became a full-fledged car. One of the drawbacks of the omnibus is a very slow speed and the so-called "clumsiness". With it mode of transport in 1896 occurred the world's first crash involving a car, which also entailed serious consequences.

This event became the cause of thoughts about possible ways to protect their property, health and life.

Mass insurance of cars in Russia appeared only in 1899. During this period on our roads appeared first on "foreign cars". To insure the transport of their responsibility has become profitable for car owners, so in the early 1900-ies almost every driver sought to enter into a policy of voluntary insurance.

The meaning of CTP is damages, which the driver may cause to other motorist during traffic.

In 2003, Russia had issued a new law which meant the already not voluntary and compulsory insurance of third party liability. The main reason for this decision was a significant increase on the roads not only cars of domestic production, but first and foremost, cars.
