Knowledge is power is a popular maxim, and it has come to the fore after the Insurance Editor of NewsPage Media, Sola Alabadan, escaped death by whiskers at the weekend while travelling from Lagos to Ekiti State, as a Toyota Sienna vehicle with Registration number GGE970GB, suddenly hit his car from the back and pushed his vehicle under the trailer in front of him.
The knowledge of Nigerian Insurance Industry Database NIID moved him to demand from the other driver who accepted to be at fault the insurance certificate of his vehicle which showed on the website of NIID that it was genuine third party cover issued December 17, 2021 to elapse December 16, 2022.
Though blank for a very short while after the collision but without physical injury to his body, Sola has not exiting concern that some tiny pieces might have pierced into his body; however, the pieces of the shattered windscreen, damage to the bonnet and bumper is an expression of the broken horn tale for insurance attention.
