Every driver in the UK is required by law to have road risks insurance. It covers you for any accidents that occur whilst operating on public roads – without it, you could be banned from driving following an accident and potentially have to pay out thousands in compensation.
Of course, we include road risks on our motor trade insurance packages as standard, so you get the legal cover you need on top of everything else.
We’ve created this guide to clear up the basics of road risks protection – if you have any more questions on it, just get in touch on 01133 120 554
Why do I need road risks insurance?
So, road risks cover is a legal requirement for all UK motorists but it does offer a little more than a green light to drive on public roads.
In the event of a bump that was your fault, even the most basic form of road risks protection will make sure the driver you impacted is compensated for damages. Beyond that, you can expand your road risks to cover you for fire & theft to comprehensive, meaning your own accidental damages can be paid for too.
With motor trade road risks, all of the drivers and vehicles named on the policy can be covered under the one quote. So, those running an operation that has several vehicles on the roads can get everything protected for one set price – no messing about with multiple policies.
