Few Iraqis are confident that their lives on the roadways are insured. In the event that they are in a traffic accident, they will receive appropriate compensation with no need to sign insurance contracts or pay monthly or annual premiums. The National Insurance Company of Iraq deducts a part of automotive fuel revenues from all Iraqi gas stations to insure drivers and pedestrians.
Nevertheless, Iraqis who are in road accidents usually settle the matter with the other driver involved in the accident, without referring it to the insurance company or even discussing the matter at any other level.
