Motorcycle insurance is a familiar term. According to legal terms, motorcycle insurance has 2 types. One is civil liability insurance of motor vehicle owners (compulsory). Without this type of insurance, people will be fined according to the provisions of law.
The second type of insurance is voluntary motorbike insurance. Traffic participants can buy more to bring benefits to pay financial compensation for property or people on the vehicle (including vehicle owners and passengers) when encountering accidents, fire or robbery. Not buying this insurance, people will not be fined. Conversely, if there is only voluntary insurance and no compulsory civil liability insurance for motor vehicle owners, people will still be fined.
