Radko: permission to use used spare parts will lead to a reduction in payments under compulsory motor liability insurance
Allowing the use of used parts in repairs will lead to certain consequences. The lawyer of the automobile movement “Freedom of Choice” Sergei Radko warned about this, his words leads “Gazeta.Ru”
If Russian insurance companies achieve the ability to repair cars under OSAGO using used components, they will be able to cut monetary compensation to motorists. Insurers are always trying to reduce the amount of compensation for road accidents, and allowing them to assess the cost of damage in a new way will give them another way to reduce payments.
“The payment will be made in cash, and this will allow the insurer to reduce its size. The insurer can calculate the cost not of a new part that needs to be installed, but a certain average cost of a part from a broken or worn-out car from a car wrecker,” the expert explained.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has already prepared amendments to the technical regulations “On the safety of wheeled vehicles” and proposed to legalize the use of used auto parts in the country. The department explained that currently there are no requirements in the legislation that such details must meet. Thus, used spare parts installed on a car should not reduce the safety level of the vehicle.
Vice-President of the National Automobile Union (NAU) Anton Shaparin warned that due to the lack of clear requirements in the law for the restoration of cars, the domestic market is being filled with “artisanally restored components.” The last factor can lead to the risk of road traffic accidents (RTA).
