Under the Traffic Act (2023 Revision) and the Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks) Law (2012 Revision), a motor vehicle cannot be registered without proof of insurance, such as a cover note or active policy.
At the same time, it is illegal to drive an unregistered vehicle on public roads, except in narrowly defined circumstances, such as under a dealer permit or when towing the vehicle.
This creates a legal catch‑22: a private buyer cannot lawfully drive a newly purchased vehicle to inspection or registration without both insurance and registration in place.
This gap highlights an urgent need for legislative reform to reconcile registration, inspection, and insurance requirements.
I would say this is a bit more urgent than requiring registration and insurance for electric skateboards.
