Impounded Car Insurance warns drivers about driving conditions this winter
Impounded car insurance UK would like to remind all drivers that during the winter months, driving conditions are notoriously bad and have been especially so during the winters of the last few years. Controlling your car in icy conditions is notoriously difficult, and many people have reported their vehicles sliding down hills when the roads are frozen over. The increase in the number of road traffic accidents during winter is down to a variety of reasons ranging from lack of friction from the ice, blinding snow, decreased visibility in thick fogs and strong winds. And don’t think because you have ABS brakes installed you will be safe as it has been well documented that in snowy conditions stopping distance are increased when ABS system is activated.
If you are thinking about cost cutting and not getting insurance during winter think again as accidents are higher during the winter months, not only will you be left out of pocket in the event of a crash, you will face criminal prosecutions for driving without insurance at the time of the accident. Driving without insurance is a driving offence and if caught police will impound your vehicle as well as fine you and have your licence endorsed with penalty points.
