The deployment of body cameras for traffic officers and drones to monitor roads could not only help make South Africa’s roads safer, but also provide a wealth of information that insurance companies could use to reduce fraudulent claims and sharpen their risk assessment and pricing processes. This could help to bring insurance premiums down for safe, honest drivers and incentivise better driving.
That’s according to Ernest North, co-founder of Naked, the AI-driven insurance platform, responding to news that South African traffic officers will be issued with body cameras to help gather evidence and improve the conviction rate for traffic law violators and that drones might be deployed to identify hazards on the roads as well as motorists who are driving recklessly and at unacceptably high speeds.

Insurers generally don’t honour a claim if you were doing anything illegal at the time of the so-called claimable event such as driving over the legal alcohol limit or without a valid licence.
So what about if you have an accident between 9pm and 6am, when you shouldn’t be on the road at all, thanks to the latest Disaster Management Act curfew?
No existing policy would include any mention of a government curfew, at least not one taken out before March this year, so how would such a claim be treated?
