Verdict

On a fire / spill claim on a hazardous vehicle: photograph each side of the vehicle and record which signage was present / missing. Missing signage is a Rule 129 breach — not a policy exclusion by itself, but it heavily colours the insurer's view on whether the vehicle was being operated in compliance. For a leaking tanker claim with no proper signage, insurer very often denies on the "limitations as to use" ground.

hazardous vehicle पर fire/spill claim में — गाड़ी के हर side की photo लें और record करें कौनसी signage मौजूद थी / गायब थी। गायब signage Rule 129 breach है — यह अपने आप policy exclusion नहीं पर insurer की राय को बहुत प्रभावित करता है कि गाड़ी compliance में थी या नहीं। बिना proper signage के leaking tanker claim में insurer "limitations as to use" ground पर अक्सर deny करता है।
