Challenges faced by Two Wheeler Rides in Jamnagar

• Mobility and congestion issues: Jamnagar is a planned city, yet has constraints in terms of infrastructure currently. Secondly, increased economic conditions and social demographics have further elevated the traffic congestion in the city, especially near the corporate parks and market areas. It’s funny that the city defines its name in a way, Jam-Nagar!
  
• Frequent road accidents: With increasing bumper-to-bumper traffic conditions, the accident rate is ever high in Jamnagar. Illegal human settlements and encroachments on the busy roads along with illegal parking make it further risky and fatal for bike riders.
  
• Poor traffic management: Most of the busy areas in Jamnagar still do not have proper traffic signals or traffic constables. The mismanagement is a huge reason for accidents in the area especially at night when bike riders or any other vehicles do not care about the signals anyway.
  
• Bike theft: Lack of proper parking areas and narrow lanes across the city have increased the frequency and chances of vehicle theft manifolds. Police have reported more than 15,000 cases of vehicle theft in a recent couple of years in the city. It is also supported by technical advancements in robbery proficiency which would not be eradicated even if u lock your bike or use the automatic locking mechanism.

• Types of two-wheeler insurance available:
  
• a) Third-party Bike Insurance insures damages & losses caused to a third-party person, vehicle or property when you are at fault. But this policy is not able to cover the damages to your two-wheeler.
  
• b) Comprehensive Bike Insurance offers holistic cover to both third-party liabilities and damages to your own bike. It helps to recover your two-wheeler from any damage caused by an accident, fire, theft, vandalism or natural calamity. 
• Avoid heavy fines: Third-party bike insurance in India is a legal obligation. If you ride your bike in the absence of insurance, then you may suffer penalties of ₹2000 for the first offence and ₹4000 for the subsequent offence. Also, imprisonment of 3 months may be imposed. So make sure that your bike is insured before you hit the roads. So if your intent is to be law-abiding and spend the least on insurance then you may opt for a stand-alone third-party plan. But keep in mind that you will get no cover for your own bike.

Again this plan can be tailor-made to improve the scope of basic overage with the help of add-ons.
