Police seize nearly a million ininsured vehicles

We all know insurance men like me, today celebrating forty three years in the industry, love statistics and here is the latest one to catch my eye thanks to this months edition of Insurance People.

 

Last year 121,000 uninsured vehicles were seized by the police, in the past seven years almost one million (979,000) uninsured vehicles have been seized.

 

So whatever you do make sure you aren’t one of the 330+ a day to lose your wheels.

Flood Re explained in more detail

Flood Re and what it means

Is your property uninsured against flood, are you in a high flood risk area – if so the launch of Flood Re on the 4th of April could help – if you want to know more contact us to see what this may mean for you.

Is price the only thing that matters?

I recently read a thought provoking article in the trade press and it asked if the insurance market has become too focused on price, the question raised was if price is the only consideration then why do people not simply shop in Primark…. his words not mine. My thoughts were if you need a product that fits you then talk to a Broker and not a keyboard.

YELLOW WEATHER WARNING

 

Be prepared      

The UK’s Met Office has issued a yellow ‘be aware’ winter weather warning for most of the country. In light of this, there are some simple steps that can be taken in the event of winter weather:

Snow or Ice

  • Avoid travelling if possible, but if you have to make a journey, take a phone, warm clothes, food, water, boots, torch and a spade with you. Also let someone know the route you’ll be taking and your estimated arrival time at your destination.
  • Grit staff and customer parking and pedestrian access routes within your property.

 

 Windstorm

  • To help prevent windstorm damage to items in the open and surrounding areas, ensure they are secured, covered or moved indoors.

Close and securely fasten doors, windows and shutters.
