A good reminder for drivers
Drivers have been warned that splitting petrol with friends could in fact, invalidate their car insurance.
Exchanging money for lifts Making a profit from giving your friend a lift could put your car insurance at risk. This is because some insurance policies do not permit drivers accepting any sort of payment for a lift due to them perceiving this as your car being used for hire and profit. Not only could this invalidate your insurance, hey warn, it could also land you with a substantial fine and six points on your license.
Where you park your car There is a difference in insurance premiums if you use off-street parking compared to parking on a street. If you tell your insurer that your car is parked off-street when it’s not, your insurance won't be able to be claimed on if it's damaged or broken into. Having an obstructed windscreen If your windscreen is obstructed and you’re involved in an accident, your insurance claim would be void. Whether it's frost, dirt or too many air fresheners hanging from your rear-view mirror, you are responsible for ensuring your car is safe to drive.
