In the meantime, as the means of riskmanagement of motor vehicle, the third party liability insurance also plays an important rolein social management. China constantly improves the legal system of the third party liabilityinsurance on the basis of using international experiences, and the Law of Traffic Safetyprovided that the third party liability insurance is the compulsory insurance.Motor vehicle third party liability insurance is one of the insurances that thecompensation liability of the insured transferred to the insurer, namely the insured or thedriver authorized caused damage to the third party in course of driving, the insurer shall beresponsible for the compensation liability of the insured in accordance with relevantstipulations. The motor vehicle third party liability insurance has its own characteristics. Itssubject-matter is the potential compensation liability of the insured, including the personaldamage and property damage of the third party. In Chinas stipulations, the scope of the thirdparty is narrow as compared with stipulations of other countries, the family members of theinsured, other persons and goods in the motor vehicle insured are not included in the scope ofthe insured party. It is not favorable to the third partys interest.The scope of motor vehicle third party liability insurance is the direct damage of thethird party, the indirect damage is not included in it. The insured compensates for the damageof the third party in accordance with the insurance contract. Both the parties are restricted bythe insurance contract. Firstly, the insurer shall be responsible for the compensation damageof the injured party acknowledged by the public security bureau. Secondly, the exclusoryparts of the liability shall be excluded. In developed countries, the principle of no-faultliability is applicable to compulsory insurance. Its basis derives from liability of dangerousactivity and retaliation liability. The basis criterion of liability in newly issued Traffic SafetyLaw is the principle of no-fault, and the principle of fault liability is applicable to the motorvehicles. We hold that it is an important progress in insurance law.IIThe third party beyond the contractual partied is the compensation object, so the legalstatus of the third party and its rights and obligations become the core of insurance contract.In accordance with the insurance law and the basis theory of motor vehicle liability insurance,when the motor vehicle liability insurance accident happens, the insured may pay for thedamage of the third party, and the third party ay also ask the insured to pay the insuredamount. This is the breakthrough of the relativism of contract. As the developed countriesprovides that the third party of liability insurance has the direct claim for the damage, wehold that Chinas law con also authorize the third party to have the direct claim for thedamage caused.Chinas laws and statutes of motor vehicle third party liability insurance are notperfect, the regional stipulations lace compatibility. We hold that China shall draw lessonsfrom international experiences and issue Regulation on Motor vehicle Third Party LiabilityInsurance as soon as possible on the basis of Traffic Safety Law and national conditions.China shall also gradually improve the legal system of motor vehicle conditions. China shallalso gradually improve the legal system of motor vehicle third party liability insurance inaccordance with the characteristics of compulsory insurance and the principle of commercialoperation ,non-profit, ensuring the lawful rights and interests of the injured parties.
