Posted on October 24th, 2011
Although most people aren’t fully aware of the intricate details of their car insurance policies, it seems that surprising numbers of drivers are also not aware of the kinds of deficiencies in highly important car safety features that can seriously affect claim validity.
A recently carried out study by confused.com found that a staggering 60% of drivers are entirely unaware of what the legal tyre depth is. If your car’s tyres are deemed un-road worthy by having a lower tyre depth than the minimum required, you can face a fine of as much as £2,500 as well as having three penalty points added to your driving licence.

A Democratic state lawmaker has entered the ongoing debate over proposed changes to Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system, claiming that removing the legal requirement that insurers pay up to a lifetime of health care costs for serious accident victims would enrich coverage providers while overburdening the state’s taxpayers.

Saga would rather we left our house unoccupied
Posted on October 11th, 2011
We took buildings and contents insurance through Saga, because the policy allows houses to be empty for up to 60 days. We are retired and intend to travel abroad as much as we can. We have arranged a house exchange for one month with another retired couple from Australia.
We informed Saga which said that while our exchangers are in the house, there will be no cover for accidental damage or theft unless there is forced entry. We think we have reduced their risk rather than increased it, because the house is not left empty so there is less risk of theft or burst pipes.
Saga agrees there is less likelihood of frozen pipes but points out that if it is empty, there can be no accidental damage at all.
