In the UK, you must have insurance as well as other things to be able to drive on UK roads, these include:
Legally, you must have at least third-party insurance on your car to protect yourself and others on the roads. In the unfortunate event of an accident occurring, the correct cover will cover the damages experienced. You do not need to insure cars that are registered under SORN (statutory off-road notice).
Depending on what cover you have, you can protect yourself and others when an accident occurs. The most recommended type of insurance is comprehensive insurance, which will cover the loss your faced, the loss of the other driver, and any additional costs such as medical costs that you had to cover. The money helper website states helpful information about what types of insurance to get and what would work best for you.
It will also give helpful information on how to make insurance premiums lower and pick insurance covers that will work best for your particular car and the area you live in.
Not everyone that is involved in an accident will have insurance. Read this quick guide to find out how you can claim.
As a pedestrian, you are not expected to have insurance to cover your damages. That is why if you have been involved in an accident, you are entitled to claim compensation for your damages against the driver of the vehicle. If you were involved in an accident, and you cannot identify the other driver, you can claim through the motor insurers bureau to claim for an untraced driver. To read more about how to claim for an untraced driver, read here.
As a passenger, you are entitled to claim for the damages you have faced, whether or not the driver of the vehicle you were in caused the accident. If you would like to find out more about claiming as a passenger, read here.
As a cyclist, you are not required to have insurance when travelling on the roads; this is because cyclists are seen to be vulnerable road users and are less likely to create as much damage as a car could to a cyclist. If you would like to find out more about how to claim as a cyclist, read here.
