Nothing To Gain From Cheating Car Insurance

The majority of drivers in the UK are said to be good drivers and try to stay on the right side of the law when it comes to things like speeding, parking where it’s reasonable to park and basic driving safety. But there are the few who try to slip by the law and do things like attempt to commit car insurance fraud to save them money. They may think that they are doing the right thing by saving money but with many cases it turns out the exact opposite. The drivers end up regretting not buying car insurance and pay overboard for things like repairs.

Some examples of these types of incidents include drivers who try and buy car or bike insurance coverage after the car or bike has been damaged as a result if an accident. A motorcycle rider who cannot be named did just that. He has an accident with a car and was lying on the road with a broken leg and mobile phone in hand getting him self an insurance quote. In the end the quote did not go through as there were many witnesses on the scene who heard the motorcyclist trying to make the call.

Another case involved a couple whose car was not insured and it had caught on fire. Instead of the husband calling the fire services he proceeded to try and get an car insurance quote. The quote was denied in mid call as the car insurance sales person heard his wife shouting about the burning car in the background.

This all comes down to drivers not feeling they can get a reasonable car insurance quote anywhere. But shopping around always helps. Companies such as insureyourmotor.co.uk and bikesite.co.uk
