Based on that, the official highlighted that Colombia has more than 18 million registered vehicles, not all of which are on the road; however, more than 52% of these vehicles are motorcycles.
Given this scenario, there are several drivers who have been victims of robberies due to the high demand for Soat, where alleged insurers seek to access user information and thereby steal their money.
“We have been telling them for a long time that today you have to be cautious and buy in reliable places. To do this, we leave you the following video that we publish on the YouTube channel, “added Rubio.
It should be noted that, according to Runt data, 47% of Colombian vehicles do not have Soat; for which the director pointed out that said reality is a “shame”: “Let’s be clear, if it is stipulated by Law, it must be complied with.”

Rubio requested that the national government should tell the insurers to sell the insurance, to deliver it without hassle, since they have not wanted to express the internal problems that exist so as not to be suspended.

Based on the internal problems, the director clarified that the crisis would come mainly from the Adress, which is the state fund, “the owners and gentlemen”, which covers from a certain point the costs in terms of mobility, with respect to compulsory insurance. Rubio added that apparently resources are running out.
The director added that insurers no longer receive 100% of the money paid by citizens. Based on that, Rubio supported the reason for the tortoise plan that exists in various cities for the purchase of Soat.
“There are problems, failures, it is not possible to have it. Not even for new motorcycles, they suffer more because they have to pay between 50 and 70 thousand pesos to be able to register the motorcycle,” he explained.
Based on the above, Rubio expanded that the crisis begins when the insurers do not recognize the sale of Soat; since they cannot do it because they would receive sanctions, which would not be good for either party.
It should be noted that the director emphasized how the collection of resources by the national government should be, whose proposal is based on the disappearance of Soat and agrees to create an all-risk insurance that covers both health care for victims of road accidents as well as protection of property damage caused by the driver to third parties.
“The Soat must not exist anymore! It is necessary to find a way to capture the resources, if required, for an all-risk civil liability policy. That should be a commitment and obligatory for all people, who acquire a new vehicle or who are going to drive with a used vehicle. But, that policy covers us for the theft of the car or motorcycle; in the case of damaging our car or motorcycle, damaging that of a third party, injuring a person, and there must be a crossroads of people who have EPS”, added Rubio.
