Re: Critical Care for Lee and Mel (GoFundMe)
My opinion is that if you have a motorbike, you should have insurance - for yourself and for other people. If you are in an accident that is not your fault, you may have to pay for the injuries or death of the other party anyway. Yearly third party insurance is cheap (like really cheap), and is good for peace of mind.Clutch Cargo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 5:21 pmHow is medical/hospital insurance wasteful when this case shows otherwise?pissontheroof wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 8:01 pm Insurance is a big waste of money unless it’s life insurance and your beneficiary will definitely get it .
I got an extra wheel on my moto and haven’t had any injury road accident since that
Other insurance is wasteful unless you can make a claim and make it pay off .
If they'd had their own insurance, they wouldn't be needing Go FundMe..
After that, you get to decide if personal insurance is worth it for you. Maybe it's not if you have money stashed away or wealthy relations you can call on, but relying on the kindness of strangers if you need major surgery is a big gamble too. We all know that an accident can happen at any time - especially on a motorbike in Cambodia. People get scraped off the road every day and it's not necessarily their fault.

I could not agree any more with your post. But has sure has eggs are eggs, the foreigner will pay even if the accident was not his/her fault, and even if the other driver/rider is illegal on the road. 3rd party insurance is essential to save yourself a lot of trouble. If someone dies in an accident, you are not going to get away with "I don't have the money".Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 6:13 pmMy opinion is that if you have a motorbike, you should have insurance - for yourself and for other people.

My 3rd party insurance was @$75 and pays out $30,000 to the 3rd party for damages or death.atst wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:35 pmWhere do you get this cheap as chups third party insurance?Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 6:13 pmMy opinion is that if you have a motorbike, you should have insurance - for yourself and for other people.

We had a wonderful night at Oscar's last night, the place was packed, filled with lots of love for Lee and Mel.
Thanks to everyone who donated or bought raffle tickets, I don't know the exact tally but it was well over $500.

I forgot all about it, so annoyed with myself. I was in a boring bar at 9.30 and thought, sod it. I'm going home. You don't get that line up very often...

Oh Doc you missed a fantastic night
